Executive Summary
The Programme of Work 1 is Frontex’ operative plan against which the reporting for
governance purposes (assessing and evaluating operational activities initiated and
implemented during the relevant) will be done. It proposes and outlines Frontex’ areas of
possible activities for the year in question.
Compared to previous years the following issues will drive changes to the structure and
allocation of resources reflected in the annual programme of work:
the further development and implementation of the EUROSUR system,
the operational support to Greece aimed at building sustainable capacity for border
management, giving added value at the EU level,
further and refined implementation measures related to the amended Frontex
Regulation (‘move from SHALL to MAY’)
the utilization of new structures (EBGT) and types of officers (seconded guest officer
and Frontex’ coordination officer - FCO) including training;
Considering the high number of new tasks and responsibilities to be taken care of by Frontex,
the increase in financial contributions is relatively low. Financing these tasks will also be
achieved by slowing down implementation measures related to non-mandatory tasks and
responsibilities.
