At the same time, Lampedusa is being used as a testing ground for the new screening model. In cooperation with the EUAA, Europol, and Italian authorities, Frontex is trialling procedures for registration, identity checks, security vetting, and vulnerability assessments under real-world high-pressure conditions. This pilot illustrates a shift from traditional border control towards highly standardised pre-procedures in which asylum, law-enforcement, and security functions increasingly converge, with Frontex acting as coordinator and operational enabler. The learnings from the pilot will be shared with all EU-Member-States.
