Dear European Border and Coast Guard Agency,

taking regard to your response from 22/01/2021 to my request of information (TO/PAD-2021-00017), I hereby make the following confirmatory application:

In my request of information I asked for “A list of the countries and the airports in third countries where Frontex officers operate within the framework of the JO Cooperation Coordination Points Air” (broken down according to the years 2018, 2019, 2020). In your response dated on 22/01/2021 it was stated that Frontex does not hold such documents.

In this case, referring to the document "Report to the European Parliament on Frontex cooperation with third countries in 2017", where on page 9 several airports are enlisted as activated Coordination Points under the JO Coordination Point Air in 2017, and referring also to the document "Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency: cooperation with third countries in 2019 – Report to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission", where on page 12 you name 14 countries which attended to a Frontex formal meeting in order to assess their hosting capacity for joint operational activities, I request the access to:
a. any document that name the countries and/or airports in third countries where Frontex officers operate within the framework of the JO Cooperation Coordination Points Air in the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 and/or
b. any copies of drafts, minutes of meetings or other written communications that contain such names.
I would like to note that, if the number of such documents is too high, it is sufficient for me to only get so many documents that the requested names can be derived from them comprehensively for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Furthermore, I also seek to clarify:
c. whether, if currently there exists no list of the names of countries and airports in third countries cooperating with Frontex under the JO Cooperation Points Air, this is the case because such a list has been destroyed by the Agency or because it has never been created?

Thank you very much!

Yours sincerely,

Katharina Stübinger

Dear Media and Public Relations Office,

thank you very much for the information given as answer of my application for public access to documents (PAD-2021-00044).

In my initial application for public access to documents, I not only asked for a list of the TC involved in JO Coordination Points Air (in 2018, 2019, 2020), but also for a list of the airports in TC where Frontex officers operate within the framework of JO Coordination Points Air. However, I have so far neither received such a list, nor grounds why such information cannot be provided.

Therefore, I kindly ask you to also provide the names of the airports in the TC involved in JO Coordination Points Air (in 2018, 2019, 2020) as initially requested.

Thank you very much!

Yours sincerely,

Katharina Stübinger

Press, European Border and Coast Guard Agency

Dear Katharina,

Unfortunately, Frontex cannot provide a list of airports where officers are deployed because this is sensitive operational information whose release could jeopardise future Frontex operational activities.
