As Michał Owczarek reports, the commissioner for migration, home affairs, and citizenship announced the Frontex European Border and Coast Guard Agency’s expansion plans just days after signing an agreement with Poland to build a new headquarters in the country's capital.
Avramopolous also warned member states against failing to host refugees, saying: “The European Commission has the tools, the means and the power to impose it. If [some countries] do not comply, we shall be obliged to take measures".
