Summary

Generated

This regulation strengthens the European Border and Coast Guard mandate, creating a standing corps of 10,000 operational staff by 2027 and expanding Frontex's powers to initiate returns, conduct border management in non-EU countries, and deploy in crises. It affects national border authorities, Frontex, migration stakeholders, and member states' border sovereignty.
