What exactly is FRONTEX?
English

In connection with border controls the name FRONTEX appears again and again. Many people can hardly imagine themselves under this name. This is probably primarily due to the fact that the name is of French origin. FRONTEX means frontières extéruers. Although hardly known, the facility has been in existence since 2004.

This number is by far not enough to ensure secure border crossing even after the introduction of ETIAS.
