In a report published on the 14 April 2014 the United Kingdom House of Lords EU Sub-Committee on Home Affairs, Education and Health criticised the 'shopping list' style of earlier EU Justice and Home Affairs programmes, in particular the Stockholm Programme (2010-14), as being too diffuse. It called for a more strategic future programme with effective evaluation at its heart. The Committee also highlighted the need for urgent completion of pending legislation from the old programme including the Passenger Name Record Directive and the Data Protection Directive. The Committee also concluded that EU agencies such as Europol, Eurojust, the European Asylum Support Office, the EU Agency for Network and Information Security and the EMCDDA must be properly resourced, well managed and subject to light-touch Parliamentary scrutiny. |
