JHA Agencies Network – 2015 – Final Report

In the beginning of 2015 the nine EU Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Agencies, working together in a joint network, agreed on a common set of priorities to be focused on in the coming year. After inter-agency consultations, the JHA Agencies agreed to focus their bilateral and multilateral activities on the following strategic priorities.

+ Further enhancing coordination of evidence-based input of JHA Agencies to the policy debate at EU level;

+ Continue to keep JHA Agencies’ operational activities as well as operational bilateral and multilateral cooperation in line with the political objectives and particular needs of the EU and the Member States in the respective areas of competence of the JHA Agencies and within the remit of their mandates;

+ Fostering the JHA Agencies’ coherent external communication strategy towards the EU institutions, with the objective of achieving greater coherence of the JHA Agencies’ activities vis-à-vis the EU institutions;

+ Increasing the visibility of the JHA Agencies vis-à-vis the EU institutions and bodies, the Member States as well as the general public to better indicate the relevance of the JHA Agencies’ actions for the citizens, taking stock of the services provided by and tools available at the JHA Agencies.
