Remarks by Commissioner Avramopoulos at CEPOL European Joint Master Programme (EJMP) graduation, Budapest 11/10/2019
From the very first moment, our vision for the future of this important Agency was, and remains, to become in the coming years a genuine European Police Academy. Security remains a key challenge for Europe and among the number one priorities for the EU. The Security Union we are building is about building trust, sharing resources, sharing information and facing threats together.

Remarks by Commissioner Avramopoulos following the Justice and Home Affairs Council in Luxembourg, 8/9/2019

The migration crisis coincided with several terrorist attacks on European soil. Both phenomena have put into question Europe's unity and fundamental principles.
