"As happens every summer, the number of attempts to reach what is referred to in some official documents as the southern EU "frontline" multiplied, with thousands of arrivals and an intensification in the incidents that have resulted in migrants dying. International developments have included the deployment of patrols coordinated by the EU border agency FRONTEX to monitor the west African coast and central Mediterranean, a proliferation of readmission agreements with African transit countries, and expulsions to both countries of origin of migrants and those through which they travel en route to the EU. Negotiations between EU and African countries, most notably the Rabat ministerial conference which was held on 10-11 July 2006, bear witness to the fact that freedom of movement in the EU is being developed at the expense of freedom of movement in neighbouring areas, in spite of a commitment to regulate "legal immigration", respect the human rights of migrants and promote "co-development".
