For our manifesto we have to keep in mind the subject of justice and home affairs. If the Reform Treaty entries into force the European Parliament will be co-legislator in justice and home affairs. This means that the European Parliament will be more responsible for the public order. Furthermore Europol is to become a European agency and will be funded from the EU budget from January 2010 on. It is also possible that the Treaty of Prüm will be introduced into the legal framework of the EU; not to forget the enlargement of the Schengen space in December last year.

Concerning these subjects there are a lot of concerns related to civil liberties and security. The manifesto should therefore pick these up and give social-democratic/socialist solutions. We cannot leave the topic of justice and home affairs to law and order hardliners. Justice and home affairs is a genuine social-democratic/socialist subject.
