# 2015 discharge: European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders (Frontex)

European Parliament procedure 2016/2179(DEC) (DEC - Discharge procedure, 8th term, committee CONT / LIBE). Stage: Procedure completed. 34 committee amendments tabled by 14 Members between 2017-01-23 and 2017-03-07.

## What the amendments focus on

This decision concerns the 2015 discharge for the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders (Frontex). Competing amendments would grant or postpone discharge and the closure of the accounts, noting a qualified opinion linked to underestimated maritime-surveillance costs, high carry-overs, the lack of a conflict-of-interest policy for grant negotiation teams, gender imbalance on the management board, and the Agency's search-and-rescue contribution in the Mediterranean.
