• Security research for a safer world

  30 September 2008, by European Commission
  Making Europe more secure for its citizens while maintaining civil rights and liberties is the goal of European Security Research. By co-operating and coordinating efforts on a Europe-wide scale, the EU can better understand and adequately respond to risks in a constantly changing world and enhance its competitiveness at the same time. Innovative technological solutions such as advanced video surveillance in public stadium areas facilitate the action of security authorities. This is a new common research project involving 23 European security administrations and one United Nations agency to benefit from each others experience, to avoid duplication and to obtain a critical mass of resources. The research network, called EU-SEC II, is funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme for Research. It is one, among many, concrete action that will be presented today at the third European Security Research Conference

• La recherche dans le domaine de la sécurité pour un monde plus sûr

  30 septembre 2008, par European Commission
  Rendre l’Europe plus sûre pour ses citoyens tout en préservant les droits civiques et les libertés, tel est l’objectif de la recherche européenne sur la sécurité. Grâce à la coopération et à la coordination des efforts au niveau européen, l’Union est mieux à même de comprendre les risques présents dans un monde en constante évolution et d’y répondre tout en améliorant sa compétitivité. Des solutions technologiques novatrices telles que les systèmes avancés de vidéosurveillance dans les stades publics facilitent la tâche des autorités de sécurité. Il s’agit d’un nouveau projet de recherche mené en commun par les administrations en charge de la sécurité de 23 pays européens et une agence des Nations unies. Ce projet vise à tirer parti de l’expérience de chacun, à éviter les activités redondantes et à obtenir une masse critique de ressources. Le réseau de recherche, baptisé EU-SEC II, est financé par la Commission européenne au titre du 7e programme-cadre pour la recherche. Cette action concrète parmi beaucoup d’autres est présentée aujourd’hui à la troisième conférence européenne de recherche en sécurité.

• The European Security Vanguard? Prüm, Heiligendamm and Flexible Integration Theory

  8 July 2008, by Bossong Raphael
  The main purpose of this paper is to better understand the political importance of the so-called G6 group that unites the Interior ministers of the six biggest EU member states. Furthermore, some of the implications of the Prüm Convention will be discussed, as the group of Prüm signatories has been compared elsewhere to the G6. However, this paper also hopes to contribute to the wider discussion of the phenomenon of ‘flexible integration’ in area of Justice and Home Affairs. Thus, after a brief historical overview of this issue, a relatively unknown theory of flexible integration will be presented, and briefly applied to the case of the Prüm Convention.
