Police cooperation and asylum policy are discussed
The JHA Council usually meets every other month. It deals with issues such as asylum, cooperation to combat terrorism, and EU-wide judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The Member States are represented by their ministers for justice, home affairs or migration. During Sweden’s six months as president, an informal meeting will also be held in Stockholm in July, hosted by Minister for Justice Beatrice Ask and Minister for Migration and Asylum Policy Tobias Billström.
