Summary: The serious migratory crisis that has affected the European Union and its Member States in recent years has highlighted the limitations of the FRONTEX Agency's actions to tackle it. The European Border and Coast Guard was established by Regulation 2016/1624; it replaces FRONTEX and gives continuity to all its operations. The present study is dedicated to the analysis of this new Agency of the European Union, taking as a reference the actions carried out by its predecessor, FRONTEX. As a positive aspect of the regulations governing the European Border and Coast Guard, it should be noted that it is planned the creation of a permanent rapid reaction pool; increased funding is provided; powers to organize return operations are conferred and an internal complaints mechanism is established. However, in a provisional assessment, these normative developments do not seem sufficient to solve all the limitations presented by FRONTEX in order to provide an effective response to the serious migratory crisis. Ultimately, it must always be taken into account that Member States are still largely responsible for managing their external borders.
