Report on the implementation of The Hague programme for 2006

1. This Communication addresses the Council’s wish for the Commission to submit an annual report on the implementation of The Hague Programme and its Action Plan. The methodology follows the one used in the first (2005) annual report.

2. The scope of this exercise is to monitor the adoption of the measures envisaged in the Hague Programme.This includes the drugs action plan, the strategy on the external aspects of the area of freedom, security and justice, and the action plan on the fight against terrorism, which supplement the Hague Action Plan, in accordance with the set timetable. All the measures planned for 2006, as well as those that were not achieved in 2005, are therefore explored in this Communication (Part I and Annex 1). The Communication also mentions, where relevant, some linked measures that were not included, as such, in the Action Plan. Future annual reports will examine 2007 onwards.

3. As in the 2005 exercise, this communication monitors both EU level adoption and the national implementation of these policies (Part II and Annex 2).
