EU: Musical chairs in Brussels: The European Commission has finally decided that its Directorate-General for Justice and Home Affairs should be split into two and have two Director-Generals (See: Comment: Statewatch News Online, January 2010). One will head Home Affairs (Internal security and immigration) and the other Fundamental Rights (Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship).

Tony Bunyan, Statewatch editor, comments:

"So there will now be two Commissioners (Mallstrom and Reding) and two Directorate-Generals. Perhaps the Council of the European Union should follow this logic and split the Justice and Home Affairs Council into two as well? After all, it has just split the General Affairs Council and the Foreign Affairs Council."
