Great meeting with Home Affairs minister Margarida Blasco today! We discussed how we together can fight organised crime and terror, to manage our borders and work internationally to manage migration.

These are drug-infused bathrobes: soak with water, and the drugs are released. That’s how clever organised criminals are. But not clever enough for the Portuguese Judicial Police and the forensic lab. Thank you for your vigilance, thank you for your hospitality today.

Welcome, Belgium and Germany to MAOC-N. Your participation in this maritime intelligence centre will mean more intelligence shared, more operational cooperation, more intercepts at sea, more drugs seized, more criminals in jail. Read my speech here👇🏼 ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

Excellent talk with new UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper We discussed common challenges related to security & migrant smuggling. Key to step up joint work in these areas, with the support of Europol & Frontex. Looking forward to a renewed strong cooperation.

Violence has no place in democracy. Last nights attack during President Trump’s election rally is a heinous act against our open and democratic society. My thoughts are with Donald Trump and the other victims of this attack.

🆕 Stronger EU rules to fight trafficking in human beings enter into force! This milestone directive imposes stricter penalties and equips authorities with tools to tackle trafficking both offline and #online. Member States must comply by 15 July 2026 ↓ #EUvsHumanTrafficking

Five more years! Dear Ursula, we moved mountains together on migration and security – and now you will move some more. I know Europe is in good hands. Hands that will guide Europe in uncertain times, uphold values, protect democracy at home & abroad – and protect people.

First meeting of LIBE Committee Press. Many people I know. Many new faces. Congratulations to all on joining this important committee! Great exchange on turning the Migration Pact into a reality on the ground: the Common implementation Plan. Look forward to our joint work.

European Solidarity at its best, protecting guests from all over the world. #Olympics2024 #PARIS2024 #OlympicGames

Russia is a security threat. We need more, not less vigilance. Giving potential Russian spies and saboteurs easy EU access would undermine the security of us all. Today in a letter I ask the Hungarian government to explain. If their easy access scheme is a risk, we will act.

We support MS in preparing for the Entry/Exit System switch-on 10 Nov. A key step in building the world’s most advanced border management system. Great exchange today at eu-LISA with Interim ED Ms Männik. My speech to eu-LISA staff👇🏼 ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

Horrified. A barbaric attack turns a joyful summer evening into tragedy. I contacted Nancy Faeser to express solidarity with Solingen, with Germany, with victims and their loved ones.

Russia is a security threat. I share LIBE Committee Press concerns on Hungary's national card scheme, giving easy EU access to Belarussians and Russians, which raises serious questions. See my speech here👇🏼 ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…
