"The Hellenic Presidency believes that the debate in the Council demonstrated the importance of consolidating the progress achieved so far in the JHA area and of creating greater trust and closer links between different stakeholders. Member States were equally affirmative on the need to improve the link between the EU's internal and external policies, in order to create synergies and adopt a comprehensive approach to tackling the complex geo-political neighbourhood of the EU, the ever-evolving security challenges and the consequences of the global economic crisis."
