The European Commission plans to propose new legislation in 2026 to reform Frontex, aiming to enhance its role and responsibilities in border management and security. The agency, which has evolved from an information hub to an executive body with armed staff, will see a significant increase in personnel and resources. The reform may also expand Frontex's role in migrant returns, with a focus on both voluntary and forced repatriations. Currently, Frontex supports the return of thousands of migrants, and future reforms could increase its staff to 30,000 by 2027.
