Press Release: Internal security: What progress has been made?

Organised crime is still a major challenge for the internal security of the Eroipean Union. Cybercrime, along with trafficking in human beings and the increase in violent extremism are also major security threats that the EU continues to face, together with money laundering and corruption.

These threats are outlined in the Commission's annual report on the implementation of the EU's Internal Security Strategy, released 10 April 2013. It highlights areas under each of the objectives of the strategy (2011-2014) where Member States and EU agencies should pay particular attention.
