The European Council held a special meeting in Tampere in October 1999 on the creation of an area of
freedom, security and justice in the European Union. Much has been achieved based on the Tampere
and the subsequent Hague and Stockholm Programmes.
The new European Commission will take the work further, using a number of strategic documents by
