The move from the European Commission raised concerns due to the ongoing investigations surrounding the border control agency.
The investigation comes after MEPs called for Frontex's director to resign over alleged migrant pushbacks.
The European Union's border agency says the number of illegal migrants entering Europe has fallen since April. Nathan Frandino reports.
Europe has lost control of its borders. With the new year came new deaths on European shores as yet more people, most of them fleeing war, tried to reach safety. Over one million people, mostly refugees, arrived in the EU last year. Some member states reacted by building fences to keep them out. Meanwhile, criminals have proven that they and their weapons can travel across borders, with the Paris attacks planned from Belgium and inspired from even further afield.
EU home affairs ministers achieved "major progress" in the negotiations around a long-stalled pact on migration and asylum.
