21 a. Recalls that Frontex's budget increased from EUR 118 million in 2011 to EUR 922 million in 2024, representing the most significant budgetary expansion among the Union decentralised agencies in recent years; considers that any further budgetary increases for Frontex should be accompanied by demonstrable improvements in fundamental rights compliance, transparency, absorption capacity and effective follow-up to recommendations from Parliament, the European Ombudsman, OLAF, the Fundamental Rights Officer and the Court of Auditors;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 25 a (new)

Motion for a resolutionAmendment
25 a. Notes that the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) continues to operate under comparatively limited budgetary and staffing resources despite the steadily growing expectations placed on the Agency to support Union institutions, bodies and agencies in ensuring fundamental rights-compliant implementation of Union law; underlines that this structural under-resourcing contrasts with the expansion of mandates and budgets of agencies exercising operational or enforcement powers; calls on the Commission and the budgetary authority to provide the FRA with adequate, stable and predictable resources, commensurate with its horizontal role as the Union's fundamental rights watchdog;
