Over the past decade, the EU provided autocratic regimes along its borders with radars, undersea and airborne drones, radios and other surveillance technology worth hundreds of millions of euros. The International Centre for Migration Policy Development, ICMPD for short, an organization based in Austria, serves as the bloc’s go-to intermediary for these business. Because the ICMPD is not a government institution, it can enable states to carry out operations along EU borders with much less transparency, accountability or regulation than what would be required of any EU government.

    Its hypocrisy because EU isn’t a united government, every single government of eu countrys can veto stuff and the way to find consens is super hard when you have 3 countrys basically governed by Faschists and some by basically Communists. And then there are some (important ones) that basically are just behind the money.
