EU SECURITY UNION STRATEGY FOR 2020-2025 IS PUBLISHED BY THE COMMISSION

24.07.2020

The European Commission has just set out a new EU Security Union Strategy for the period 2020 to 2025.

The Strategy focuses on priority areas where the EU can bring value to support Member States in fostering security for all those living in Europe. Accordingly, the Strategy lays out 4 strategic priorities for action at EU level;

  • A future - proof security environment; the Commission will put forward new EU rules on the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure, physical and digital.
  • Tackling evolving threats; the Commission will make sure that existing EU rules against cybercrime are fit for purpose and correctly implemented, and will explore measures against identity theft.
  • Protecting Europeans from terrorism and organised crime; the Commission will soon put forward a new EU Action Plan against migrant smuggling focussing on combatting criminal networks, boosting cooperation and support the work of law enforcement.
  • A strong European security ecosystem; the EU will help promote cooperation and information sharing, with the aim to combat crime and pursue justice. Key measures include strengthening Europol's mandate and further developing Eurojust to better link judicial and law enforcement authorities.
