In sum, it is about guaranteeing freedom in a context of security and justice.The present paper tries to analyze the evolution o f the regulation of one of the "compensatory mechanisms" of free circulation, FRONTEX, and the causes of successive revisions of its mandate, included the new European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG). Regulation 1624/2016 about EBCG, is provoking an intense debate between the specialists of European Union Law; for some of them the EBCG is a real step towards a common policy on common control of external borders, and for others it is nothing more than "Frontex + ". For this reason, we will try to provide the cr itical news of the latest regulation for lighting and facilitate the taking of positions.
