In her debut appearance at the European Parliament, EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly criticised the EU border agency Frontex for skirting its responsibilities on fundamental rights.

O’Reilly told MEPs in the parliament’s petitions committee on the 26 November 2013 that the border agency could mot distance itself from rights violations committed during its joint operations with member states.
