This article is an analysis of the attempt of the European Commission to gain more independence and new competences throughout the process of the Frontex reform. Study of the mechanism of the attempt of supranationalisation and its final results constitute the main research problem of this analysis. The principal-agent model and its assumptions served as an analytical and theoretical framework for this study. Additionally, the explanatory capability and general assumptions of the principal-agent model were verified. Therefore, the article is partly a theoretical research, too. The study showed that the attempt of the European Commission to gain new competences was effectively hindered by the member states. It has been proved that the principal-agent model is useful in the examination of an attempt of supranationalisation.

W niniejszym artykule zbadano, w jaki sposób Komisja Europejska podczas reformy Agencji Frontex próbowała uzyskać niezależność i zdobyć nowe kompetencje. Analiza mechanizmów próby supranacjonalizacji oraz jej końcowy efekt stały się głównym problemem badawczym niniejszego opracowania. Podstawą teoretyczną analizy jest model mocodawca-agent. W artykule dodatkowo zweryfikowano użyteczność eksplanacyjną modelu i jego główne założenia, przez co artykuł posiada również walor badania teoretycznego. Badanie wykazało, że próba uzyskania przez Komisję Europejską nowych kompetencji została efektywnie zablokowana przez państwa członkowskie. Udowodniono użyteczność modelu mocodawca-agent w badaniu prób usamodzielniania się agenta.
