Opis

This text examines the role of agencies and agency-like bodies in the EU's Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). When the Maastricht Treaty entered into force on 1 November 1993, the institutional landscape of the so-called 'Third Pillar' looked significantly different than it does now. Aside from Europol, which existed only on paper at that time, the European agencies examined in this book were mere ideas in the heads of federalist dreamers or were not even contemplated.
