160 million movements registered - that means almost 3 million per week, out of which 50,000 people with no right to enter were refused.
Delivering real security benefits - the EU’s new Entry Exit system.
Frontex retweeted
Planning to #TravelToEurope? You may hear about two new EU border systems: EES and ETIAS.
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is fully operational since 10 April 2026.
ETIAS is a travel authorisation expected to start in the last quarter of 2026. Learn the differences👇
Frontex retweeted
The Entry/Exit System was launched on 12 October 2025 and will be fully deployed at all border crossing points by 10 April 2026.
It records the entries and exits of non-EU nationals travelling for short stays to 29 European countries, helping safeguard #SchengenEU.

Copernicus Security Services are key to EFCA operations. We were glad to join @SatCen_EU, @Europol & @eu_eeas in the panel on space-based services during the 10Ys of Copernicus event at @Frontex — an unique opportunity to share perspectives across key implementation areas.
#IUU🎣
Denis Bruckert, Head of the Copernicus Unit at #SatCen, took part in the panel discussion on “The Contribution of Space-Based Services to EU Efforts Against Illegal Activities” during the event 10 Years of Copernicus at Frontex.
He underlined how Earth Observation and geospatial intelligence services strengthen European security – from External Action to internal security, crisis response and climate security – with SatCen expanding its support beyond CFSP/CSDP through cooperation with key EU actors in Space and Security, in particular the @EU_Commission.
He highlighted that the evolution of EO services means not only the integration of new sensors (RF, hyperspectral, thermal, video) and the use of #AI and automation for smarter analysis and faster, secure delivery, but also the need to safeguard European strategic autonomy throughout this process.
As a CFSP Agency and entrusted entity for Copernicus SESA, and in support of Frontex within Copernicus Border Surveillance, SatCen transforms EO data into reliable, actionable GEOINT for EU decision-makers and users.
SatCen thanks @Frontex for organising this event and timely panel, and was glad to exchange with FRONTEX, @Europol, @eu_eeas, and @EFCA_EU – whose perspectives as key users and partners in space and security help drive our shared goals forward.
We look forward to further strengthening this cooperation in the years ahead. 👏

2 Frontex planes tracked a dangerously overcrowded boat with some 100 people on board near Libya and Tunisia. Another plane rushed from far away to support their rescue.
When the metal boat capsized mid-rescue on Tuesday, one of our crews released a yellow life raft from the air to help survivors in the water.
96 people were rescued. Tragically, 2 lives were lost.
Aerial support helped make the difference in a desperate situation.

When it comes to the instrumentalisation of migrants, EU countries need to direct their measures towards the hostile actors not punish the migrants & refugees who are being used for political gains.

Today,@KristoBorjana and I signed an agreement to strengthen migration and border management cooperation between Frontex and the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Now, Frontex can carry out joint operations and work anywhere along the borders, including on the borders with neighbouring non-EU countries and airports.
Thanks to close cooperation with Western Balkan partners, irregular border crossings along this route have dropped by nearly 95% compared to 2022. This confirms that working together brings tangible results and that the Western Balkans are an integral part of Europe’s stability and security space.
