Zero tolerance for female genital mutilation / .-- : EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service , Febrero 2018 .-- 2 p. Recurso online 214 KB



The European Union is committed to working collectively to eradicate female genital mutilation (FGM) as part of broader efforts to combat all forms of violence against women and girls, and to support the efforts of its Member States in this field. The European Commission is again due to update MEPs on the progress made towards the objectives set out in its FGM action plan during the Parliament's first plenary session in February.

This study, which critically examines the Commission proposal for the
establishment of a European Border and Coast Guard, was commissioned by the
European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional
Affairs at the request of the LIBE Committee. The proposal significantly
reinforces Frontex’s regulatory and operational tasks and provides the Agency
with an additional supervisory role. The proposal does not amend the
fundamental premise of operational cooperation at the external borders,
reserving executive enforcement powers to the Member States. Nonetheless,
the concept of shared responsibility in the absence of shared accountability
increases existing fundamental rights concerns.
