Statewatch European Monitoring & Documentation Centre on Justice and Home Affairs in the EU

Welcome to SEMDOC

Statewatch has been systematically monitoring and documenting the development of EU Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) policy since 1991. SEMDOC seeks to increase public understanding and debate about JHA policy through the provision of comprehensive information about decision-making and legislation.

This website was launched in February 2008 (replacing the previous SEMDOC site created in 2000). We are still adding new content and functionality and will continue to develop the site over the coming year. Full access to this website requires a subscription.
