This book examines the role of agencies and agency-like bodies in the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ).When the Maastricht Treaty entered into force on 1 November 1993, the institutional landscape of the so-called ‘Third Pillar’ looked significantly different than it does now. Aside from Europol, which existed only on paper at that time, the European agencies examined in this book were mere ideas in the heads of federalist dreamers or were not even contemplated. Eventually, Europol slowly emerged from its embryonic European Drugs Unit and became operational in 1999. Around the same time, the European Union (EU) unveiled plans in its Tampere Programme for a more extensive legal and institutional infrastructure for internal security policies. Since then, as evidenced by the chapters presented in this book, numerous policy developments have taken place. Indeed, the agencies now operating in the EU’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) are remarkable in the burgeoning scope of their activities, as well as their gradually increasing autonomy vis-à-vis the EU member states and the institutions that brought them to life. This book was published as a special issue of Perspectives on European Politics and Society.

The European Union has set up a number of decentralised agencies to carry out specific legal, technical or scientific tasks within the European Union. The EU regulatory agencies are independent, and have their own legal personality. They provide added value by facilitating the implementation of policies, enhancing dialogue and helping to share information and expertise. EU agencies also provide practical support to Member States and the EU institutions. In the area of justice and home affairs (JHA) there are currently the following agencies: European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex); European Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (EU-LISA); European Asylum Support Office (EASO); European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE); European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA); European Police College (CEPOL); European Police Office (Europol); European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA); and the European Union's Judicial Cooperation Unit (Eurojust). The EU JHA agencies are spread across different Member States. The JHA agencies established a network, in 2006, to foster bilateral and multilateral cooperation and synergies in areas of common interest, such as strategic and operational work, external relations or training. As from 1 January 2014, EASO took over the Chair of the network. In this context, EASO decided to coordinate this publication in the form of a brochure to enhance public knowledge on the work of these agencies. This brochure gives an overview of the missions and tasks of all the EU justice and home affairs agencies. It also provides other practical information such as contact details.

Security and the fight against crime has always been a topical issue in European affairs, and mechanisms to develop cooperation between national authorities in this field date back to the late 1970s. Introduced on a purely intergovernmental basis in 1993 as part of the Third Pillar, police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (PJCCM) has become one of the fastest growing domains of EU action. Security should be a key priority in a wide range of funding instruments, research and innovation programmes as well as training initiatives. Existing priorities should be adjusted as required. The European Agenda on Security sets out the actions necessary to give a high level of internal security in the EU. It must be a shared agenda. Its successful implementation depends on the political commitment of all concerned participants to do more and to work better together. This includes EU institutions, Member States and EU agencies. It requires a global perspective with security as one of our main external priorities. The EU must be able to react to unexpected events, to discover the new opportunities and anticipate and adapt to future trends and security risks.

This book offers an insight into the historical, institutional and topical development of the EU policy in the areas of justice, home affairs and security, well-embedded in a broader international context. The main part of the book, dedicated to the EU, is therefore preceded by a part on relevant cooperation on the Benelux and Schengen levels and followed by a part on cooperation in the areas concerned on Council of Europe, NATO, OSCE, G8, OECD and UN levels. Without a proper understanding of those cooperation levels, the development and functioning of the EU would be hard to fully grasp. Before addressing the actual policy dimension, all parts start with a historical introduction and a sketch of institutional structures and functioning. For students and professionals in criminology, law and political science, and every one interested in European and international criminal policy making this book will prove relevant or insightful.

In 2022, the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) chaired the informal Justice and Home Affairs Agencies' Network (JHAAN) for the second time. This network was established in 2010 and includes nine agencies working in the field of home affairs and justice. Cooperation between the agencies in the many areas of common work has continued to increase over the past 12 years, leading to the setting up of a number of working groups under the umbrella of the network. These groups enable dedicated working-level discussion to explore how agencies can best support each other and work together, as demonstrated by the Assessment Report1, endorsed by the Heads of the JHA Agencies in 2021. CEPOL was the first presidency to implement the recommendations of the above-mentioned Assessment Report. In this respect, particular attention was paid to running the Network with the first Trio, involving CEPOL and the subsequent presidencies held by the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) (2023) and the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) (2024), in close cooperation with the other Trio members. Having said that, digitalisation, business continuity and the implementation of the principles of the European Green Deal were agreed by the Trio as joint priorities, ensuring sustainability and business continuity throughout the term. During the CEPOL Presidency, close cooperation among the Trio members became standard practice. Examples and key outcomes of this cooperation include: successfully piloting a meeting between the Heads of Agencies of the Trio and the incoming Council Presidency; increasing the visibility of the JHAAN; and paving the way for closer coordination with the subsequent Council presidencies. The CEPOL Presidency of 2022 was implemented in turbulent times. The beginning of the year was still strongly marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, whose long-term effects remain. Later on, Russia's military aggression in Ukraine had a strong impact on the year's activities. In addition, the four priorities previously identified for the CEPOL Presidency (digitalisation, the European Green Deal, cooperation with non-EU countries and training, as a horizontal priority) still had to be implemented via several thematic events as indicated in the JHAAN Work Programme 2022, and relevant discussions took place on various aspects of these topics.

The third edition of EU Justice and Home Affairs Law is comprehensively updated and expanded to take account of the major changes introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon and the development of legislation and case-law since the last edition. It includes analysis of the widened jurisdiction of the EU's Court of Justice, the revised rules on the participation of the UK, Ireland and Denmark and relations with non-EU countries in this field, and of the impact of the new framework for human rights law in the EU, including the binding status of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights and the EU accession to the ECHR. In the area of immigration and asylum law, this new edition scrutinizes a wide range of issues that include; the development of the EU's border control agency; the adoption of an EU visas code; EU databases (such as the Visa Information System and the second-generation Schengen Information System); the further development of the Common European Asylum System; the EU's Returns Directive; and the Blue Card Directive for the admission of highly-skilled workers. In the area of civil law, this new edition contains an updated overview of recent legislation, including EU rules on conflicts of law, maintenance, payment orders, small claims, and mediation. As regards criminal law and policing, the new edition includes detailed analysis of EU legislation and case law on issues such as suspects' and victims' rights, the European Arrest Warrant, the transfer of prisoners, other post-trial and pre-trial decisions, double jeopardy rules, EU anti-terrorist sanctions, data protection, and the development of Europol and Eurojust.
