“An internal security strategy should be developed in order to further improve security in the Union and thus protect the lives and safety of European citizens and tackle organised crime, terrorism and other threats”
 
While the protection of citizens from terrorist threats should be actively fought, many Europeans are aware that the damage that organised crime has on society it is as devastating as a terrorist plot. Organised crime is often entangled with local and national politics and it hinders the economic and social development of several member states. Achieving a climate of legality and respect for the rule of law is an indispensable requirement not only for personal security, but for social development, too. With networks of organised crime assuming more and more a transeuropean dimension, discussions are needed on actions to fight local and transnational mafias  to (re)establish the rule of law at every level of social, economic and political life.
