The new Commissioner taking over - from Mr Vittorino - Justice and Home Affairs in the European Commission is new Commissioner Rocco Buttiglione. Directorate General Justice and Home Affairs is to be renamed: "Justice, Freedom and Security", so Mr Buttiglione is Commissioner for ""Justice, Freedom and Security". Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"This simply scrambles the "Area of freedom, security and justice" into a new EU acronym which changes the wrapping and leaves the same policies in place, where security triumphs over freedom and justice every time"
