Frontex

Frontex is the EU's border and coast guard agency, which supports the member states at the external border. The agency helps with surveillance, coordination and joint operations, while responsibility for a country's own border still lies with each country. The reason the cooperation takes place at EU level is that the free movement within the union makes the external border a shared concern.
