FRA in working group on digital dimensions of migrant smuggling

FRA took part in the working group on digital dimensions of migrant smuggling, coordinated by the Justice and Home Affairs Agencies Network. Participants from Europol, Frontex, the European Commission, EUAA, CEPOL, eu-LISA and FRA discussed ongoing counter-measures at the legislative, policy and operational levels.

FRA contributed with fundamental rights aspects to the discussion, relating for example to the exemption of humanitarian-oriented online content from take-down requests by law enforcement. 

The working group meeting is part of the regular exchange of experiences between the network of Justice and Home Affairs Agencies that FRA chairs in 2025. 

The meeting took place on 28 November in the Hague.
