History made.

We have delivered a robust legislative framework on how to deal with migration and asylum in the EU.

It has been more than ten years in the making. But we kept our word.

A balance between solidarity and responsibility.

This is the European way.

Thanks to you Filippo and to UNHCR UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency for all your support and for your leadership.

Saddened by the tragic shooting among young children in Vantaa, Finland. I spoke to Mari Rantanen to express my condolences.

My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

Welcome Bulgaria and Romania!

#Schengen

8 years ago terrorist attacks in Brussels shook Europe
Today we remember the victims and their families

By combatting violent radicalism in all its forms.
And by remaining ever-vigilant

“We have to treat internet companies like grown-ups, and stop treating them like teenagers.”

Earlier this week I and Julie Inman Grant sat down with The Sydney Morning Herald and discussed how internet companies reports are crucial for detecting child sexual abuse online.
