Communication Paper - Action Plan of Implementation of the Stockholm Programme - CEPOL Key Actions

Invitation to bring forward proposals – changed and shortened date for submission to the Commission

Dear Colleagues,

With reference to our previous communication and reminder of the above issue we would like to inform you that we have just been informed by the Commission that the timing for the draft Action Plan of the Stockholm Programme is changed and shortened and that the draft should be finalised inside the DG JLS before Christmas. The internal consultation will be in January and the document will be adopted in February by the Commission. The final text should be adopted by the Council in June and therefore the Commissions first draft has to be provided by mid-December and at the 18th Governing Board meeting in December.

We hence invite Member States to provide the Swedish Presidency with their proposals as soon as possible and not later than 1 December in order to enable proposals to be considered at the next Governing Board meeting.

Yours truly,

Bo Åström Chair of the Strategy Committee swedishpresidency.cepol@phs.police.se
