According to Macron, first of all, France is initiating the reform of the Schengen area in two directions:

• political administration of the Schengen area, within which a special organization will be created. She will meet with relevant ministers;
• creation of an urgent support mechanism in the event of a crisis at the border.

“Countries whose borders are on the outer edge of the EU should count on the full support of the border agency Frontex, as well as on the reinforcement of police and gendarmes from other countries of the Commonwealth,” Macron said.
