In 2013 Frontex, together with the Member States, will focus on the continued development
of EUROSUR. An amount of 2.24 M € (+0.9 M €) will be used for ensuring the EUROSUR
network is further extended, secured and maintained.
Training activities fall broadly into the following main categories: standardized common
curricula and upgrade courses, further training in order to achieve co-operability for BG
officers not trained on common training standards and training support. A budget of 4.5 M €
(+0.5 M €) will be made available for different activities. In addition, Frontex will actively
contribute to the European Training Scheme (ETS) in close cooperation with CEPOL.
With a budget of 1.0 M € Pooled Resources will manage and further develop the European
Border Guard Teams and Technical Equipment Pools. By increasing the availability and
deployability of operational resources for joint operations, technical and operational
assistance, and rapid operational assistance, Frontex’ response capacity will be strengthened.
Increased tasks will only allow for the stabilizing of primary operational activities but shall
lead to an overall increase of training activities by 14% during 2013.
Regarding the list of governance indicators used by Frontex, the following targets have been
established for a selection of them.
The Participation Index (PA_PART) should be kept at the same level as during 2011 (average:
25)
The usage of pools (PA_POOL-UTL) should be increased from the current level of 17% to 40%
through a better tailoring of profiles and availability (arg: EBGT) .
The ratio for the implementation of the operational plans (EFF_OP_PLAN_HR and
EFF_OP_PLAN_TE) should be kept at the same level as during 2011/2012 (annual average is
90%).
Stabilizing the level of the external contribution ratio (EFF_EX_CTRB) at 85% will allow
Frontex’ product delivery ratio (EFF_TIMELINESS) to remain at the level of 2011/2012
(100%). At the same time, the customer satisfaction level (IM_SAT_LVL) should increase
from 3.8 to 4.2 (average).
Increasing the joint character of operational activities should enable Frontex to decrease the
resources ratios - HR Host and TE Host – (IM_RES_HR and IM_RES_TE). As the figures vary
significantly between the different types of borders, the focus will be on sea borders with a
current value of 63%.
The monitoring of these indicators, together with the further implementation of measures to
fulfill the Internal Control Standards, should guarantee governance and management of
Frontex towards its strategic goals.
