The Presidency priorities were presented at the Informal Meeting of the JHA Council in Copenhagen on 26 – 27 January 2012 and to the LIBE and JURI Committees of the European Parliament: A responsible Europe, a dynamic Europe, a green Europe and a safe Europe.
The fourth strand, a safe Europe, has a focus on the continued implementation of the Stockholm Programme. As new global powers are emerging, there is a strong need for a stronger common European role on the global scene. With the establishment of the position as High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and a European External Action Service, the Lisbon Treaty has provided the EU with a valuable new basis for achieving increased global influence. The European Neighbourhood Policy is an important tool to ensure good and lasting relations to the EU’s neighbouring countries with a new more merit-based approach.
