Report on Implementation of the Hague Programme for 2007

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

The purpose of this exercise is to monitor adoption of the measuresenvisaged in the Hague Programme both at institutional level(Part I and Annex 1) and their implementation at national level(Part II and Annex 2). This includes the drugs action plan, the strategy covering the external aspects of the area of freedom, security and justice, and the action plan to fight against terrorism, which supplement the Hague Action Plan, in accordance with the set timetable.

All the measures proposed for 2007, and those still not achieved since 2005, are therefore explored. The Communication also makes reference, where relevant, to some supplementary actions which, although they were not scheduled in the Action Plan, have nonetheless complemented the work done in the respective policy areas of the Hague Programme.
