Promoting our European Way of Life Vice President Margaritis Schinas, and Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson, will take part in the informal videoconference of Home Affairs Ministers today (14 December). The meeting will start with an update by the German Presidency of the Council on the negotiations on the proposal for a Regulation on preventing the dissemination of terrorist content online, where a political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council was found yesterday. Ministers will then discuss conclusions on internal security and on the European police partnership, against the background of the Commission's Counter-Terrorism Agenda and the proposal for reinforced mandate for Europol which were presented on Wednesday.

Finally, participants will take stock of the ongoing work towards making information systems for external border management interoperable. In the afternoon, Ministers will discuss the Pact on Migration and Asylum, proposed by the Commission on 23 September, including a discussion on the EU engagement with partner countries on effective readmission and migration management. The incoming Portuguese Presidency will present its work programme.  A press conference with Commissioner Johansson will take place at +/- 17.15h CET, which you can follow live on EbS.
