Draft Programme of the trio of Presidencies in JHA
[libertysecurity] The
French, Czech and Swedish Presidencies will coincide with a period of
significant changes for the European Union. The end of 2008 and the
beginning of 2009 will be the last period of full-scale activity for
the European Parliament and the Commission. The elections to the
European Parliament in June 2009 and the appointment of a new
Commission during the second half of 2009 will have a profound effect
on the work of the three Presidencies.
In this transition period, the Presidencies will do
their utmost to ensure continuity of the efforts being made in the last
few years to implement The Hague Programme and its Action Plan and will
take pending work forward. They will also aim at further developing the
area of freedom, security and justice. In doing so, they will strive to
maintain a balance between enhancing the security of European citizens
and guaranteeing fundamental rights and the protection of the
individual.
