On 25 February 2025, Frontex and the European Commission signed a working arrangement to enhance their cooperation in the field of migration management. Under the arrangement, the parties agree to strengthen situational awareness, early warning, and forecasting. The arrangement is part of Frontex’s participation in the Migration Preparedness and Crisis Blueprint Network, a soft law instrument to support the EU's emergency and crisis response functioning in two stages:

• The first stage on monitoring and preparedness aims at a more coordinated use of existing legislation by reinforcing and sharing common situational awareness between all actors involved, developing an early warning/forecasting system at the EU level, and supporting the development of the necessary resilience in EU Member States in order to deal efficiently with any type of migration crisis;
• The objective of the second phase is to support a rapid, efficient, and coordinated EU response to a migration crisis by providing EU decision makers with timely and up-to-date information on the evolving operational situation and by supporting monitoring, coordination on the ground, and communication at the technical level between all actors.
