• Minutes of the CHALLENGE Training school : Migration, Visas and Asylum: Social, legal, political and economic issues

  15 July 2008, by Carrapiço Helena, Faure Atger Anaïs, Mir Miriam
  Since Maastricht, the issue of a common EU policy on the movement of third-country nationals into and across the EU has made its way steadily up the political agenda. The issue finds itself high on the priority lists of nearly all EU Council presidencies and forms part of the Strategic Objectives of the Barroso Commission.

• The Institutional Architecture of CFSP after the Lisbon Treaty: Constitutional breakthrough or challenges ahead?

  30 June 2008, by Bopp Franziska, Wessels Wolfgang
  This paper analyses the impact of the Lisbon Treaty on the institutional architecture of CFSP and the overall external action of the Union. The Lisbon Treaty has introduced some remarkable changes which might substantially influence the (inter-)institutional balance in this policy field. The authors offer two different possible readings of the CFSP provisions of the Lisbon Treaty: they could be interpreted as a major step forward in the direction of a strengthened, more coherent and more effective international actor with more supranational elements; but they may also be seen as demonstrating an ever-refined mode of ‘rationalised intergovernmentalism’.

• Taking Stock: Databases and Systems of Information Exchange in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice

  19 May 2008, by Geyer Florian
  Exchange of information in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, using new technologies like biometric identifiers and creating large-scale centralised EU databases is a highly topical, yet equally controversial issue. A number of EU databases and systems of information exchange are already in place, others will soon become operational.
