The possibility of establishing a "European System of Border Guards" is to be examined in a new study that is aimed at informing a future evaluation of Frontex, the EU's border control agency.
Cooperation with Belarus is part of Germany's wider involvement in securing EU's eastern border. In 2007 already, the Bundespolizei participated with Polish border guards in Frontex's joint operation Ariadne at the Polish-Belarusian border. In 2011, it was part, together with 23 other EU and non EU countries including Belarus, of Frontex Jupiter Joint Operation at the EU eastern land borders.
