3 The chart provides an overview of the fundamental rights situation in European countries within the context of integrated border management. It provides indications on the countries with a substantial presence of Frontex operational activities, specifically where the Agency supports Member States in border surveillance activities and migration management. The categorisation is based on continuous assessment from the Fundamental Right Office substantiated by its monitoring and advisory activities conducted in 2022. The fundamental rights issues considered do not solely refer to those occurring at the borders stricto sensu, but also in respective areas where Frontex conducts operational activities. They might also relate to other factors such as conditions of detention and shortcomings in the asylum procedure.
