On Wednesday 13 February, the EU focuses on its external borders. The Commission will adopt a "border management package".

Package aims at contributing to a better management and control of migration flows, the surveillance of travellers to and from the EU and more security through border controls.

Frontex, the European agency for the coordination of external border cooperation, is evaluated as well. FRONTEX coordinates operational cooperation between Member States in the field of management of external borders; assists Member States in the training of national border guards, including the establishment of common training standards; carries out risk analyses; follows up the development of research relevant for the control and surveillance of external borders; assists Member States in circumstances requiring increased technical and operational assistance at external borders.

'Next', a Communication on border management tools is presented which includes an increased surveillance of travellers to the EU.

Another communication tabled by the Commission is about a proposal to set up a European Border Surveillance System.
