Management Board updates
Conclusions of the Management Board’s meeting on 5 March 2021 on the report of its Working Group on Fundamental Rights and Legal Operational Aspects of Operations in the Aegean Sea 2021-03-05
The Management Board thanks the Working Group Fundamental Rights and
Legal Operational Aspects of Operations for the additional work done
following the delivery of the Group’s preliminary report at the end of
January and takes note of the findings of the Group’s final report. It
also thanks Frontex’ Fundamental Rights Officer, Fundamental Rights
Agency and the Consultative Forum for their continued participation in
the discussions of the Group.
The report discusses Frontex’s plans to update the Serious Incident Reports (SIR) mechanism, full details of which it did not share with the working group despite a request for the information.
As part of these updates Frontex intends to classify all SIRs as RESTRIENT UE/EU RESTRICTED (the lowest level of EU Classified Information, EUCI), and all SIRs would be handled by the Frontex Situation Centre.
The working group finds this proposal inappropriate and, in fact, contrary to Frontex's founding legislation:
"Serious Incidents regarding alleged violation of Fundamental Rights should not be reported to Frontex Situation Centre but should be directly reported to the Fundamental Rights Officer, for follow-up in accordance with his or her competences, as set out in Article 109 (2) (b) of the EBCG Regulation"
