Working Agreement between Frontex and EUAM
On 19 February 2024, Frontex and the European Union Advisory Mission Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine) signed a working agreement to strengthen their cooperation in combating cross-border crime and dealing with irregular migration at the EU’s eastern borders. The agreement is another step towards enhanced border security and integrated border management in Ukraine. Both parties announced that the agreement will mainly promote the European Integrated Border Management (IBM) standards, and expand cooperation in the area of situational awareness and monitoring.
The cooperation between Frontex and EUAM will be another milestone to secure the EU's Eastern border next to the mission in Moldova. Frontex currently deploys over 230 officers at the EU and Moldovan borders with Ukraine.
