Discussions about Kremlin interference in the 2016 US presidential election initially focused on Russian hackers and leaked e-mails. However, US Congress enquiries have highlighted the important role played by Russian social media activity in influencing public opinion.

This study, which critically examines the Commission proposal for the
establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard, was commissioned by the
European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional
Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee. The proposal significantly
reinforces Frontex’s regulatory and operational tasks and provides the Agency
with an additional supervisory role. The proposal does not amend the
fundamental premise of operational cooperation at the external borders,
reserving executive enforcement powers to the Member States. Nonetheless,
the concept of shared responsibility in the absence of shared accountability
increases existing fundamental rights concerns.
