Minister presents priorities to LIBE Committee

On 4 February, the Minister of Home Affairs presented the priorities of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU to the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).

With the affirmation of European values as a transversal priority, Minister Cabrita stressed the importance of ensuring the conditions for FRONTEX to fulfil its objectives, the search for a commitment by Member States around the concept of "flexible compulsory solidarity", the strengthening of the migration dialogue with third countries of origin and transit, the coordinated action of the Schengen States in the implementation of measures to combat the pandemic, and the relevance of the new mandate of EUROPOL and of the European Civil Protection Mechanism.
