"Overall, the suggestions on the table would in part be useful and practical (on asylum, legal migration, civil justice and suspects’ rights, subject to concerns about the details of any rules on the offshore processing of asylum-seekers), and in part raise some concerns about civil liberties protection (as regards PNR and smart borders in particular). But there are no specific overriding themes that would bring together the EU’s future JHA plans into a coherent system."

See also: European Commission: "The effect of publishing two sets of communications is that there is no single Commission vision of the future of JHA in the EU, with the ‘three Cs’ in the Justice paper as compared to a subject-based approach in the Home Affairs paper." (Steve Peers):
