Beyond the Frontiers

Frontex: The First Five Years

Beyond the Frontiers highlights some of the more outstanding milestones and achievements of Frontex during its first five years. It is not an annual report, a study or a press release. Nor is it a comprehensive list of activities or events, or the people involved in them. It cannot be.
Instead, Beyond the Frontiers is a brief backward glance at a journey which began in 2005 when fewer than fifty people from across the European Union came together with one aim: to establish the organisation which would coordinate the challenges faced by an enlarged EU with an important common interest: a shared external border.
