RT @USarekanno: The digital transformation of EU border controls is underway. The Entry Exit System and #ETIAS will impact millions of travellers and thousands of carriers. Close cooperation with industry is the key. On behalf of #Frontex to #IdentityWeekEurope
Currently 59 #Frontex officers support Moldova with border management activities. Ten #StandingCorps officers are deployed in Palanca, one of the busiest crossing points at the🇲🇩-🇺🇦 border; among them are experts to detect fraudulent documents and stolen vehicles
Yesterday #Frontex Dep. Exec. Dir. Uku Sarekanno participated in the Ministerial Conference closing the Polish Presidency of the #SalzburgForum. Frontex supports the need for a coordinated response to hybrid threats and joint efforts to combat the instrumentalization of migrants
Yesterday #Frontex brought together representatives from 30 European countries, @EU_Commission, @EULISA_agency and @Europol in Warsaw to discuss the ongoing preparations and challenges to make #ETIAS happen
As of next year, citizens of over 60 visa-free countries will be required to have an #ETIAS travel authorisation in hand when travelling to Europe.
Setting up a system like ETIAS requires an impressive amount of preparation (1/2)
General Serhii Deineko, Head of @DPSU_ua:
"Thank you to all Europeans for their solidarity. We need to safely protect external borders and expand the network of border crossing points with the EU. #Frontex will play an important role here. We will do this thanks to our unity"
General Serhii Deineko, Head of Border Guard Service of 🇺🇦 @DPSU_ua:
"Dear European countries, Ukraine border guards are grateful for your help. The fact Ukraine has become a EU candidate country is a powerful signal. We are part of the European community."
General Serhii Deineko, Head of Border Guard Service of 🇺🇦 @DPSU_ua:
"We are fighting already 125 days. The border police was the 1st to face the enemy. Many of our fellow officers have died or are wounded. Before we were guarding the borders, now we created combat reserves."
Lars Gerdes #Frontex Deputy Executive Director:
"A lot remains to be done as the challenges we are facing are multi-dimensional. This is why I am happy to see such a diverse representation here today.
Together we protect Europe, shoulder to shoulder, on the spot”
Lars Gerdes #Frontex Deputy Executive Director:
“Today we are bringing together relevant authorities of 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇲🇩 to discuss challenges posed by the war in Ukraine and to discuss the strengthening of border management amid the unprecedented security crisis."
Lars Gerdes #Frontex Dep. Exec. Dir. to 🇺🇦representatives and neighbouring countries:
"I admire your restless fight. You are the true heroes of today. It is an honour to be here with you and support you. Europe is bigger than the EU. We are witnessing a historical process.”
@EUHomeAffairs' DDG Olivier Onidi: Coordination on-site is crucial because of the plethora of actors and aspects. #Frontex has been one of the 1st to mobilise officers & equipment to support 🇲🇩 after we have signed the status agreement in record time. (2/2)
@EUHomeAffairs' DDG Olivier Onidi: This conference is very timely, a few days after EU formally recognised Ukraine and Moldova as candidate countries for the 🇪🇺
Managing borders is also about helping people in distress to find shelter. (1/2)

Ana Revenco, Moldova's Minister of Interior opened the conference: "We want to consolidate the extended border of the EU and anticipate threats to security. We have to build a trustworthy, resilient and sustainable ecosystem together to respond to the current challenges."
Over 6mil 🇺🇦 nationals have entered 🇪🇺 since February. Countries neighbouring 🇺🇦 are particularly affected by large number of people crossing the border.
#Frontex & Moldovan authorities brought together European and int. partners to discuss first experiences & lessons learned
#Frontex opens its 6th Risk Analysis Cell! This time in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮
With financial support of @EU_Commission the cell will be run by Frontex-trained local analysts who will collect & analyse data on cross-border crime & support authorities involved in border management
#Frontex runs three operations to assist the Cypriot authorities not only with the registration of migrants, but also with return-related matters and the detection of document fraud

#Frontex has been assisting Cyprus with migration management since 2019 as the number of people arriving on the island kept rising.
Between January and April 2022, the number of migrants arriving in Cyprus was 119% more than in the same period last year
Recently @MargSchinas met with our standing corps officers deployed in Cyprus. Our officers support the local authorities with the registration of migrants and other migration management related tasks.
