The article examines the EU practices of border externalisation, highlighting their structural lacunae in terms of fundamental rights protection, transparency, institutional balance, and effectiveness of judicial remedies. Departing from the inadequacy of the judicial protection mechanisms currently available within the Union, the contribution proposes an alternative accountability mechanism based on the European Parliament’s budgetary powers, in synergy with the European Ombudsman and the European Court of Auditors.
L’articolo intende esaminare le pratiche di esternalizzazione del controllo delle frontiere dell’Unione europea, mettendone in luce lacune strutturali in termini di tutela dei diritti fondamentali, trasparenza, equilibrio istituzionale ed effettività dei rimedi giurisdizionali. Muovendo dall’inadeguatezza degli strumenti dell’Unione di tutela giurisdizionale attualmente disponibili, il contributo propone un modello alternativo di accountability, fondato sull’uso delle competenze di bilancio del Parlamento europeo, in sinergia con il Mediatore europeo e la Corte dei conti.
