  Achievements during the legislative term 2014-2019 : the role of the European Parliament

  A single area without internal border checks — the Schengen Area — requires a common policy on the EU external borders. Boundaries mean freedom in security. When the Schengen Area entered into force in 1995, checks at the internal borders were abolished and a single external border was created. Slowly, border control, as well as the rules governing visas and the right to asylum, became common for all Schengen countries. The European Parliament has always insisted on the need that all action happens with due regard for the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Parliament has been calling for reliable and fair procedures and for a holistic EU approach to migration. Considerable progress was made regarding safeguarding the EU’s Schengen acquis during the legislative term 2014-2019 - most importantly after the migratory crisis of 2015 had made the deficiencies of the European common policy had become evident.

  This report provides an overview of the Consultative Forum’s activities in 2018. It also outlines the main observations and recommendations raised throughout the year with Frontex and its Management Board in an effort to strengthen fundamental rights protection in Frontex’s activities. In 2018, Frontex’s ability to uphold its responsibilities in the area of fundamental rights continued to be compromised due to the inadequate staffing of the Agency’s Fundamental Rights Office. This has been a constant concern since 2014;1 adequate staffing is paramount to ensuring the implementation of fundamental rights obligations under the European Border and Coast Guard Regulation. The Consultative Forum also expressed concerns on the Agency’s respect for the independence of the Fundamental Rights Office (Section 4.1.1) and regrets that the revision of the 2011 Fundamental Rights Strategy – a key document for the promotion, respect and protection of fundamental rights – was not prioritised during the year.
