Summary:

Communication published by the European Commission on 9 December 2020, comprising the first progress report regarding the implementation of the EU Security Union Strategy.

Further information:

The latest EU Security Union Strategy was adopted in July 2020, building upon progress achieved under the European Agenda on Security 2015-2020 and targeting action on priority areas where the European Union (EU) can bring added value to national efforts. The latest Strategy aims to provide a fresh focus, to ensure that EU security policy reflects the changing threat landscape.

The report highlights actions taken at EU level under the 4 main priorities: a future-proof security environment, tackling evolving threats, protecting Europeans from terrorism and organised crime, and a strong European security ecosystem. The report includes a wide range of reporting on security policy, such as skills and awareness raising issues or education, following the whole-of-society concept of the new strategy. Its core theme is implementation of agreed decisions, which requires continued political and operational efforts by EU institutions and national authorities. The report covers the period from October 2019 to December 2020.
