Frontex, was established by
EU Regulation 2004/2007. As the importance and the involvement of the
Agency grew, limits to the initial
mandate were identified, including too heavy a reliance on Member
States' technical contributions and the need for stronger human rights
safeguards especially with respect to operations at
sea. Regulation
2004/2007 was therefore amended by Regulation 1168/2011. Note that the
decision of the European Court of Justice regarding the legality
of Council Decision supplementing the Schengen Borders Code is
still pending (the Decision remains in force though, until the Court
gives its
opinion on that matter).
