European Commission Representation in Finland organises a Conference:

15 YEARS OF AREA OF FREEDOM, SECURITY AND JUSTICE

EU STRATEGY FOR THE NEXT DECADE

The European Council held a special meeting in Tampere in October 1999 on the creation

of an area of freedom, security and justice in the European Union. Much has been

achieved based on the Tampere and subsequent Hague and Stockholm Programmes.

The next European Commission will take the work further, using a number of strategic

documents by various EU Institutions as the starting point. As the new College is taking up

its work, the Commission invites Member States and stakeholders to contribute to the

discussions at a conference in Tampere.

5th November

9.00-‐12.00

Expert seminars:

Seminar 1:

A Europe that attracts and protects – migration and asylum policies

Europe needs a well-‐managed migration policy that contributes to economic growth and

ways to address specific skills shortages as well as demographic challenges. In parallel, such

policy prevents and reduces irregular migration. The EU needs to protect those in real need

through an effective common asylum policy. Fostering cooperation with countries, especially

countries of origin and transit, is fundamental.

The seminar will focus on the enhancement of cooperation in migration and asylum issues

with countries of origin and transit. Another question is how to better embed return and

readmission issues in a wide-‐ranging, coherent cooperation with third countries.

Seminar 2:

A genuine European Area of Justice

Mutual trust is the bedrock upon which EU justice policy should be built and needs to be

further strengthened to ensure that citizens, legal practitioners and judges fully trust judicial

decisions irrespective of the Member State where they have been taken. EU justice policy

should also continue to support economic recovery, growth and tackling unemployment.

Seminar 3:

A Europe that protects and prospers – EU internal security and border

management policies

The seminar will debate elements of the EU's next internal security strategy and border

management policies. The challenges posed by migration pressure, serious crime,

cybercrime, radicalisation and terrorism need to be addressed while safeguarding the rights

of European citizens. Research, technology and innovation initiatives are needed to

strengthen the EU´s capabilities to address security challenges. Points of interest are the

evolution of the strategy and the key actions at EU level. In addition, synergies between JHA

and CFSP in EU's internal security will be discussed.
