Single programming document 2021 - 2023

The revised Frontex Programming Document 2021 − 2023 (PD 2021 − 2023) sets the framework for all strategic planning documents as outlined in the Regulation and in parallel it aims at preparing to host the objectives set in the founding Regulation, as well as the Agency's activities to implement its new and enhanced mandate. To that end, a roadmap that translates the principle of 'close cooperation' spelled out in the Regulation by foreseeing full involvement from the onset of Member States and the Commission in all preparations for the implementation of the Regulation in a transparent and cooperative manner was developed and will continue to be implemented during 2021. As a strategic planning document, the PD 2021 − 2023 is made up by Frontex Multiannual Programming 2021 − 2023 (MAP 2021 − 2023), representing the mid-term strategic business plan of the Agency. The structure of the MAP 2021 − 2023 is in line with the joint statement of the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission on decentralised agencies, adopted on 19 July 2012, and follows the guidelines of the Commission as communicated on 16 December 2014, C(2014) 9641 final. Together with the Annual Work Programme 2021, they form Section II and Section III of the PD 2021 − 2023. The budget 2021 is elaborated and displayed in Section IV of the document.
