Frontex supported EU Member States in returning more than 33.000 people to non-EU countries during the first half of 2026. Around two-thirds of these returns were voluntary. Belgium ranked among the five Member States with the highest number of Frontex-supported returns.

In its judgment in Case T-600/21 | WS and Others v Frontex, the General Court dismissed today the action of a number of Syrian refugees who had brought a claim for compensation before the General Court of the European Union. The applicants claimed that Frontex engaged in improper conduct with regard to them.
