It vastly undercounts the real amount: * Thousands of refugees and migrants come by air with forged documents, at a price ranging from 5000 to 20000 EUR. * The amounts count only FRONTEX-routes and not the routes needed to reach the points of departure for the last leg of the journey (e.g the trip to Tripoli), which costs several hundreds USD. * Data on detection is incomplete in years prior to 2008. * Using the median limits the risk of including high amounts. However, numerous reports of Syrians paying up to 10,000 EUR per person to cross the Med exist. * A person ""detected"" (i.e who reached Europe) can have done the journey several times if he or she was pushed back before. * Over 29,000 have died, even though they paid.
