It is essential that all Europeans are able to go about their lives free from fear . As stated in the European Internal Security Strategy, ‘the protection of people, especially those most vulnerable to attacks, which tend to disproportionately affect children, women and minorities, including Jewish and Muslim communities, is at the heart of the EU’s work on security. This is essential to build resilient and cohesive societies’[1].
The EU Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life (2021-2030)[2] will continue guiding Commission’s actions on protecting the Jewish community.
At the same time, national security matters, including actions by national authorities for the purpose of maintaining law and order and safeguarding national security, remain the responsibility of the Member State concerned.
Consequently, policing matters fall within the remit of the Dutch, Belgian and Hungarian authorities.
