Paragraph 4
4. ConsidersIs concerned that the immunity granted to Frontex staff members for their activities in Mauritania may exacerbate the agency's lack of accountability, as Frontex is still under charge both for its lack of transparency, including workplace harassment, mismanagement, and financial irregularities, and for its involvement in illegal pushbacks of asylum seekers and migrants at the EU's external borders; considers necessary that Frontex staff who are granted immunity for their activities in Mauritania must continue to be held accountable under EU or Member State law;
