Summary/Abstract: Promoting the free movement of people has been an important goal of European integration since the 1950s. Since 1999, the European Justice and Home Affairs Council has taken several measures to improve cooperation in the field of migration, asylum and security. The events of recent years, in particular the unprecedented increase in migrant and refugee flows, have severely tested citizens' confidence in the EU's ability to manage its borders. For this reason, it was necessary to adopt Regulation 2016/1624 of September 14, 2016 establishing a European Border and Coast Guard (Frontex) in order to adequately respond to the challenges of these movements.
