EU proposes major expansion of Frontex powers to manage migration

• The European Commission proposed a major expansion of Frontex's powers on October 27.
• The proposal includes giving Frontex the capacity to act beyond EU territory.
• This move follows the massive rush to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta last summer.
• The plan aims to ensure the return of irregular migrants and support non-EU countries.
• The proposal also includes curbing internal rights oversight.
