	Police and Judicial Co-operation in Criminal Matters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Police and Judicial Co-operation in Criminal Matters is the third of the three pillars of the European Union, focusing on co-operation in law enforcement and combating racism.
		It was created as the Justice and Home Affairs pillar in the Treaty of Maastricht ; subsequently the Treaty of Amsterdam transferred the areas of illegal immigration, visas, asylum, and judicial co-operation to the integrated first ( European Community) pillar.
		With Maastricht, Justice and Home Affairs co-operation aims at reinforcing actions taken by member states while allowing a more coherent approach of these actions, by offering new tools for coordinating actions.

		JHA is not implemented in the same way as other Community policies (the common agricultural policy or regional policies, for example).
		Cooperation between the EU countries in the areas of JHA was first addressed by a political declaration tagged on to the Single European Act (1986).
		In the context of judicial co-operation between Member States in civil and commercial matters, three priorities for action have been identified: better access to justice, mutual recognition of judicial decisions and increased convergence in the field of procedural law.

		The Treaty of Amsterdam changed the nature of cooperation in the field of justice and home affairs by defining the area of freedom, security and justice in more ambitious and more precise terms, by improving its effectiveness, by making it more democratic and by establishing a better balance between the roles of the various institutions.
		All initiatives relating to justice and home affairs are now a matter for the EU, which should make it easier to develop clear and consistent European policies.
		In view of the forthcoming enlargement, cooperation in the field of justice and home affairs is assuming ever greater importance in Europe.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gregory the Great
		The supreme instance of Gregory's intervention in the affairs of these dioceses occurs in the case of Sardinia, where the behaviour of Januarius the half-witted, aged Metropolitan of Cagliari, had reduced the church to a state of semi-chaos.
		As supreme guardian of Christian justice, the pope was always ready to intercede for, or protect anyone who suffered unjust treatment (Epp., I, xxxv, xxxvi, xlvii, lix; III, v; V, xxxviii; IX, iv, xlvi, lv, cxiii, clxxxii; XI, iv), but at the same time he used the utmost tact in approaching the imperial officials.
		In justice to the great pope, however, it must be added that he lost no opportunity for the exercise of his missionary zeal, making every effort to root out paganism in Gaul, Donatism in Africa, and the Schism of the Three Chapters in North Italy and Istria.

		As a result JHA assumed a hybrid character, with part of its subject matter transferred to the supranational 'first pillar' of the EU, of which the ultimate arbiter is the Court of Justice, and part remaining the responsibility of national governments.
		Whether this phenomenon strengthened or undermined the fundamental JHA concept of a borderless 'area of freedom, security and justice' was, however, hotly debated.
		Having conceded the supremacy of Community law, and being for the most part in the course of merging their currencies and surrendering national control over their economies, the chief distinguishing marks of autonomy left to member states are defence, foreign policy and home affairs.

		But if they think that 'Brussels' is responsible for allowing in immigrants and drugs, or for letting their fellow-citizens languish in foreign jails on specious charges and without legal services in their own language, they will become more wary of the EU.
		The EU's aim to create an 'area of freedom, security and justice' is one of its most ambitious projects, involving a wide range of policies - including criminal justice, policing, migration, asylum and customs operations.
		But the decision-making machinery for JHA in the EU's institutions needs a thorough overhaul, while many practical obstacles still lie in the way of co-operation across borders.

		The growth in drug trafficking, smuggling of people and goods, and an increase in ‘illegal immigrants’ and ‘asylum seekers’ trying to gain entry to many member states has led national governments to realise that co-operation at EU level is vital to solve these complex problems.
		Co-operation in the fields of justice and home affairs has also become more important to the EU to realise its goal of the free movement of people, goods, services and capital within its borders.
		In particular, it moves decision-making from unanimity among member states to qualified majority voting in most areas of the justice and home affairs field.
