thank you for that we've long called for strengthening frontex with personnel and not some time in the future but in twenty twenty two as well as expanding frontex mandate so that it can work with transit countries to stop the migrant boats from even setting sail up. the migration issue is very important we share the main goals off the austrian presidency namely that we all must work to put take the extended his ardent innocence and then also come on there are some signs of progress the european commission intends to beef up front talks with stuff and responsibility but greece and italy are reluctant to give to frontex national rights courts is also pushing for a europe wide upper limit on migration without putting a number on it how to distribute migrants within europe is not a priority for him some prominent members of german opposition parties say americal is increasingly isolated minus august my worry is that even the western european countries the so-called coalition of the willing won't come together because they have some big differences the european solution is far trust europe

so you'll know all you know is also default it's well in europe there's frontex. we're expecting orders from the agencies. if you're trying to stop the border crossing was there are various types of technology available for surveillance to control and alarm this is one that while the capacity the solution is like a swiss army knife it's a saw you can choose the tools that mr ker need or it was a signal to keep the president to have a clue is what the media. order management is a booming business with global annual market growth of seven percent. sales in the industry are due to exceed fifty billion dollars worldwide by two thousand and twenty two. one reason is increasing demand in the fight against irregular migration but nobody here is willing to discuss the topic with us airbus ryan mittal and industry groups decline or ignore our request for interviews. but we know their lobbyists are busy working behind the scenes thanks to the efforts of the arms industry's most important e.u. lobby organization the aerospace and defense industries association or. five hundr

well the shot in the arm the increase in the powers and the personnel of frontex is one of the major proposals that's being put forward ten thousand extra border and coast guards by twenty twenty one of the main people against this though is one gary in prime minister viktor orban he said that this is a plan that essentially anglin merkel's plan the german chancellor's program i gratian plan and that these frontex agents the frontex border and coast guards they would be nothing more than mercenaries that hung gary and should be the ones policing hungary's borders sebastián curt's the austrian chancellor did say that there were issues regarding sovereignty when it came to this plan to improve and increase the powers of frontex however he said it was important to focus on external border security the external border of the european union the reason for that he said was because if they were to try and talk and get any further on what to do when it came to distributing refugees and migrants with in the block well they would be simply too many arguments to make any real progress. before i

frontex doesn't just patrol the e.u.'s outer borders in the mediterranean it's also received new duties such as the training of border police in africa. and it has forged an alliance with african intelligence agencies they had a front text tells us. this motherhood. is our first goal is the exchange of information information pertaining to migration as well as crime or community. two thirds of the more than twenty participating countries in the security network are autocratic regimes from texas seeking to increase manpower and technology in african countries. show business and good minds arms i believe it's in the common entrust of european and african countries. to build on these resources are all supposed to be. building on resources includes investing in technology the industry is ready and waiting in the wings we take a look around europe's biggest event for homeland security committee paul in paris . border protection technology is the number one emerging segment in the arms industry. one reason technology to secure

now frontex is the external border force that's a big increase it's only six hundred agents currently at the moment they are going to be in place by twenty twenty however not all of the e.u. leaders are happy victor all bond chief among them the hungarian prime minister has described this as a pro immigration plan he says that this is essentially what angle a miracle the german chancellor wants to see he's referred to these frontex agents mercenaries being sent to hungary and he said well hungary knows best how to look after hungary's borders. it's worth noting that at this meeting there was a scene just before it's got underway on thursday where the belgian prime minister sharon's michelle was sat next to viktor orbán the belgian prime minister doing his best desperately trying to talk to somebody else to avoid having to strike up a conversation with the home garion prime minister but there are some friends of mr orbán in that room namely the leaders of poland and bulgaria they're backing him over who should be looking after the external borders but donald tusk the european council p

frontex is in charge of doing just that we're on our way to the headquarters of the e.u. border security agency. when it was founded in two thousand and five frontex was allocated a budget of six point five six million euros for twenty twenty it's slated to get three hundred forty five million. the number of employees is slated to rise in the same period from forty five to one thousand frontex can also call on thousands of national police officers for backup across europe. text doesn't just patrol the e.u.'s outer borders in the mediterranean it's also received new duties such as the training of border police in africa. and it has forged an alliance with african intelligence agencies they had a front text tells us. it was really good for. us yes it is our first goal is the exchange of information information pertaining to migration as well as crime or community. two thirds of the more than twenty participating countries in the security network are autocratic regimes from texas seeking to increase manpower and technology in african countries. show business and good minds a

well frontex the external border control agency of the e.u. is set for a massive shot in the arm ten thousand new agents by twenty twenty this currently only six hundred in operation with that agency so a major turnaround there a major injection as i say of resources however not everybody is happy with that chiefly among those who are unhappy as viktor orbán the the prime minister of hungary now he cast somewhat of a lonely figure at the summit as it was about to get underway on thursday in fact charles michel the prime minister of belgium on realizing that he was going to be sat next to mr orbán he was desperately looking for somebody else to try and talk to quite awkward moments there but there are some friends for mr orbit in the room the polish leaders and the full garion leaders of all suppressed all expressed their support for their policies when it comes to migration mr doesn't want to see these frontex agents securing hungary's border he says that hungary can do that better themselves. if you want to take the rights of border protectio

says it's angle of merkel the german chancellor who's behind it he's referred to these ten thousand frontex agencies as mercenaries that are being sent to his country he says hungary could better protect hungry gary and so he can better protect hungary's borders than the e.u. can well donald tusk the e.u. council president though has called on leaders to to come together in unity on the issue of migration to try and find a solution. to stop the migration blame game. despite their aggressive rhetoric. thinks are moving in the right. mostly because we have been focused on the border control. so e.u. leaders and the european union's top brass are insults burke for this discussion still no deal on break that and still know who is still very divided when it comes to migration be keeping an eye on that throughout the day as all the latest comes in yeah do that first peter all of our europe correspondent right up to date with what is happening in salzburg. meanwhile artie's sophie shevardnadze i spoke to hungary's foreign minister now his country faces sanctions from the e.u. for refusing to accep

biometric passports are said to be forgery proof but the european border agency frontex told us in an official response. there have been some cases in the e.u. and shang an area of force possibles that had a manipulated chip. another disturbing development is that hackers are now able to access facial data including european passports. here we use a simple mobile phone app to activate the chip in a german passport. and an encrypted data in one european passports can sometimes also be accessed. the passport forger finally gets back to us he wants pain and now. please send the money to the bitcoin address below then i can get started. this is where we break off contact weekend over our research to the german authorities we have no idea whether we actually have received the forged passport that the seller had promised. when stolen data appears on a dark web hackers of usually got it by exploiting a vulnerability in a software program it takes about a week for the security holes to be discovered and closed. by then it's usually too late to help those whose data has been compromised data f

prevent illegal migration that's why the commission proposed stocking up for example the border agency frontex up to ten thousand men at the moment they have one thousand six hundred people working for them or have so-called disembarkation platforms in northern africa where the illegal migrants are that the migrants in general would be brought back to process their request so this is the consensus but when it comes to a quota to redistributing actual refugees within the european union they haven't made a step forward there all right max hofmann reporting from salzburg austria thank you. and austria is currently holding the european union presidency and the country's foreign minister karen i saw is one of the more outspoken voices in the austrian government conflict zones michelle or friedman has been speaking to miss crisil and he asked her why she had referred to the pent up testosterone of refugees who recently arrived in europe around eighty percent of those who arrived in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen men between the age of eighteen to thirty and that this can create a problem i think that

illegal migrants of course and part of that is securing the out of borders beefing up the border agency frontexup to ten thousand persons although there are still some lacking clarity who's going to be in charge of securing those borders of the sovereignty of the individual states or the border agency and of course we've talked a lot about those this embarkation platforms that's another word for migrant camps outside of the european union in northern africa now the host austrian chancellor our courts currently holds the news that we're taking presidency he said he wants more support from egypt a lesson in. group b. visas egypt has shown that it can be efficient jim said to me outside doesn't seem to stop ships setting off from egypt the year of sense twenty sixteen i will find if they have already set off just take in the mountains to look in the woman and what egypt is ready to put towards them close a coalition. how is this closer cooperation supposed to look like max. what the e.u. leaders are hoping for is that egypt would host the first of those disembarkation platforms that i just mention
