EU-website states that Frontex is in fact Third Pillar Agency [1], [2]. I've reverted the change. Maartenvdbent 23:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

error of EU-website, see: [3]. Maartenvdbent 00:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


But why is it there and not in the third pillar? Has somebody INformation on that? It sound rather weird to me, since it is clearly about police and judicial cooperation very much like Europol is. Derwaechter 07:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Tasks assigned to Frontex were originally in scope of the third pillar but in the Amsterdam Treaty part of this pillar (including external border controls, asylum and immigration) was moved to the first pillar – it's now in title IV of the Rome Treaty. --Filemon 10:57, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Also the EU website now states it correctly :). Maartenvdbent 12:26, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Maartenvdbent! You would not have any idea where I can find the old version of the EU Websites that stated it incorrectly? Derwaechter 18:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FVO

Is the European Food and Veterinary Office under a a diff. name? Did it change or has it just been created? It exists and has a website (/fvo) but I though we had them all on this list. - J Logan t: 19:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

FVO is not an agency —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.35.143 (talk) 15:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Color-coded list

While it's not a bad idea to color-code items on this list, it's not a good idea to rely only on the color-coding since this may not be accessible to color-blind users or those relying on screen-reading software. So the text should be written in full as well as the color-coded key. Purgatorio 16:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
