Living in an Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice by European Commission Pdf
European Union procedures and laws on justice and home affairs touch on some of the most sensitive questions facing the EU today. They deal with issues such as asylum, immigration, drugs, crime and cross-border legal questions. As businesses and individuals increasingly take up their right to live and work anywhere in the EU, European aspects of court proceedings and citizens' rights will become ever more important. It is important for Europe's citizens that the objectives of justice and home affairs policies - freedom, security and justice - are interlinked and balanced, as freedom loses much of its meaning if it cannot be enjoyed in a secure environment and if it is not backed up by a fair and smoothly functioning legal system.
