The European Commission Directorate-General for Justice, Freedom and Security role is to make proposals for European Union legislation. It also monitors how this legislation is implemented once it has been adopted by the EU Council of Ministers. However, in the area of Justice, Freedom and Security - a new area of European Union competence - the European Commission shares its right to make legislative proposals with the Member States.
On 4 November 2004, the European Council adopted the Hague programme which set the objectives to be implemented in the area of freedom, security and justice in the period 2005-2010. This new programme takes into account the final evaluation made by the Commission on the Tampere programme, as well as the comments received during the citizens on-line consultation held in July/August 2004.
The Commission presented in May 2005 an action plan with a set of detailed measures and a calendar to implement the programme adopted in the Hague. On the 2nd of June 2005, the Council approved the Action Plan, which will be the frame of reference for Commission and Council work over the next five years.
