Frontex has become notorious for its multiple fundamental rights violations, including pushbacks. The problem of fundamental rights infringements associated with the Agency has been lasting for years, leading ultimately to the resignation of the Executive Director. What I argue in this post is, first, that the fundamental right to the protection of personal data by Frontex has not yet received sufficient attention by scholars and EU institutions. Second, data protection within the Agency needs to be strengthened to prevent any future new scandals.

Published online: 09 September 2022; This article belongs to the debate 'Frontex and the rule of law'. The management of external borders is one of the most controversial policies of the EU. In a context where violence is at times systemic, the role of the EU’s dedicated border agency Frontex has dramatically increased over the years. Do its operations respect the paradigms of the rule of law? Are there effective systems in place to monitor the Agency and ensure its accountability? The recent resignation of the Executive Director, following the presentation of a yet undisclosed report by OLAF to the Management Board, raises a number of questions that this debate tries to tackle.
