A list of the countries and airports in third countries where Frontex officers operate
within the framework of the JO Cooperation Points Air (please break down according to
the years 2018, 2019, 2020).

I note your arguments in your 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
ed Coordination Points under the JO Coordination Point Air in 2017, and referring also to

activat
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.

ts is too high, it is sufficient for me to

umber of such documen
names can be derived from them
