Abstract

Justice and home affairs cooperation between the Member States has been integrated by the Maastricht Treaty, the Amsterdam Treaty has significantly changed its regulatory framework, and the Lisbon Treaty has made it uniform by abolishing the pillars. Achieving an area of freedom, security and justice is an important objective of the European Union. The results in the area of judicial cooperation in civil matters have been extremely positive, with the European Union’s rules of private international law effectively helping to resolve cross-border disputes in a large number of areas. Since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Union has also had a real success in the area of cooperation in criminal matters, and there have also been many good results in the field of customs and police cooperation. However, there are major differences of opinion between Member States on policies relating to border control, asylum and immigration. The new Asylum Pact is on the agenda and many other challenges of the 21st century need to be resolved.
