  • [01] Justice minister attends informal council of ministers in Finland

    Justice Minister Anastasios Papaligouras participated in the European Union's informal Council of Justice and Internal Affairs Ministers that convened in the city of Tampere in Finland. An announcement by the justice ministry on Friday stressed that the most important issue at the ministerial council was the implementation of the Tampere European Council's guidelines.

    These guidelines laid the foundations in the sectors of freedom, security and justice, as well as for the further application of the Hague programme that specialised the principles formulated at the Finnish city.

    The Greek justice minister pointed out, according to the announcement, that it is necessary to maintain unanimity in the taking of decisions concerning human rights and citizens' freedoms, since these rights constitute the sensitive nucleus of democracy.

    Papaligouras underlined that Greece does not agree with the implementation of article 42 of the European Union's Treaty on the subjection of sectors requiring the taking of decisions with unanimity to a process of decisions with a special majority.

    However, he requested the taking of measures for the improvement of the way decisions are taken in the sectors of justice and internal affairs with the enactment of control and evaluation processes for the implementation of legislative measures taken so far.
