EU Commission proposes expanding powers of border police force
The European Commission has proposed expanding the headcount and the powers of the joint European Union border police force Frontex to include transfers of migrants between non-EU countries, Commissioners Henna Virkunnen and Magnus Brunner said on Tuesday.
Frontex's standing corps would be gradually expanded to 30,000 officers, with a reaction force able to deploy on short notice in case of emergency, they said.
