Overview

The Stockholm Programme will - after the Tampere Programme (1999-2004) and the Programme of The Hague (2004-2009) - build the new multiannual programme defining the priorities of the European Union in the areas of freedom, security and justice. The Commission has grouped in its Communication [ COM (2009) 262 final] the various future challenges and its respective policy proposals under the following areas:

  • "A Europe that protects",
  • and "A Europe of solidarity".
