Frontex Executive Director Fabrice Leggeri said the European border control organisation was planning to introduce a stress test for the effectiveness of the European borders. Speaking to newspaper Welt, Leggeri pointed out that the Frontex would commence a series of checks to analyse the weakest entry points on the European borders. Greece and Germany have already agreed to participate in the tests, while according to German media reports, Finland, Slovenia and Romania have also agreed to be part of the new border stress tests. The analysis will include a number of scenarios covering land, air and sea border capabilities. ‘We want to ascertain how prepared the member states are to face a crisis on the EU’s external borders’, Leggeri said. The analysis of the EU’s weakest external border points ere provided by a Frontex regulation expected to take effect within the next weeks. The regulation also foresees the allocation of 1,500 officers to EU member states within the next few day. The Frontex director said that apart from the new stress test, the organisation plans to create legal entry passages for the refugees into the EU safe.
