General introduction

The Commission is carrying out a comprehensive assessment of the EU security policy to

be delivered by June 2017. The assessment will cover three thematic priorities of the

European Agenda on Security (EAS) adopted in 2015 - tackling terrorism and preventing

radicalisation, disrupting organised crime and fighting cybercrime - and will include key

measures adopted in these areas since 2002 (policy and legal instruments as well as

practical cooperation tools).

This exercise should contribute to ensuring that EU policies in these areas are fit for

purpose, a concern at the core of the Commission’s political priorities. Commissioner King

requested the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee to facilitate a meeting

with representatives of national parliaments and civil society to provide input to the

comprehensive assessment of the EU security policy. The LIBE Committee decided to

honour this request and agreed to organise a meeting where national parliaments, civil

society and Members of the European Parliament could exchange views on the current EU

security policy.

The Commission assessment includes consultations with all Member States, JHA agencies

(Europol, Cepol, Frontex, EMCDDA, eu-LISA, Eurojust and FRA), think tanks, researchers

from EU funded projects on security and industry representatives. The input from civil

society and national parliaments could therefore be a valuable addition to the assessment.

Following questions could be considered:



What are the EU measures to tackle terrorism and prevent radicalization, disrupt

organized crime and fight cybercrime which have been effective and added value, to what

extent and for what reasons?

Are there EU measures which have not met their objectives or proved to be ineffective

and/or inefficient, and for what reasons (for example lack of implementation or failure in

their design)?

To what extent have fundamental rights been safeguarded or have been affected,

positively or negatively, by EU measures?

To what extent are instruments developed and their objectives still relevant and adapted

to current needs and emerging trends? In what areas would further action at EU level be

beneficial and what kind of action should be considered? Are there areas where synergies

between EU measures and/or EU actors should be further explored at EU level?
