Abstract

Three years after the transformation of the decentralised agency FRONTEX into the European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG), Regulation 2019/1896 continues strengthening its operational tasks. This article analyses to what extent Regulation 2019/1896 reinforces EBCG’s autonomy and its operational, executive and supervisory activities, conferred by the former Regulation 2016/1624. While the EBCG’s function to intervene directly on the ground was the main novelty brought in by Regulation 2016/1624, the introduction of a permanent body of 10,000 border guards and the development of executive and coercive powers by the statutory staff of the Agency has had a comparable impact regarding Regulation 2019/1896. However, far from centralising the administration of external borders at the European level, the EBCG’s operational mandate continues to focus on monitoring effective border management by the member states and assisting those national authorities subject to extraordinary migratory pressures.
