3.3.1 Justice and home affairs Austria will play an active role in implementing and further developing EU policy in the field of justice and home affairs. In doing so, it will work in close collaboration with its partners in the “Salzburg Forum” in order to facilitate the process of protecting the security interests of Austria and Central Europe. The objective of the “Salzburg Forum Vision 2020” resolution, adopted in 2010, is to achieve collaboration within the EU and regional cooperation in order to create a Central European security cluster within the EU. It also aims at making a collective contribution to the implementation of the EU strategy for external action, particularly in the Western Balkans and in the eastern neighbourhood. Other basic objectives of the Austrian EU policy include ensuring the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms, developing a common security policy culture, strengthening cross-border cooperation among police forces and developing a comprehensive model for the exchange of information. The policy also aims at developing and implementing a comprehensive approach towards the issues of asylum, migration, integration and border management as well as combating illegal migration, smuggling and trafficking in human beings and promoting inter-cultural dialogue. The overall aim, as part of an active security policy, is to gradually create and actively shape an “architecture of internal security” within the EU. This objective is to be pursued on the basis of cooperation between the various authorities in the Member States and the European institutions.7 An important innovation contained in the Lisbon Treaty is the obligation to act jointly in a spirit of solidarity if a Member State is the object of a terrorist attack or the victim of a natural or man-made disaster. Steps must be made to expedite the establishment of a network of capabilities from the civil and military sectors, which Austria can also use to make its contributions within this context. 3.3.2 Common Foreign and Security Policy As a member of the EU, Austria will play an active role in shaping CFSP. It will also continue to participate in the entire spectrum of CSDP activities referred to in the TEU,8 including the EU Battlegroups, within the scope of its capabilities. Austria will play an active role in planning, crafting and developing CSDP and will take measures to promptly assess and secure opportunities to be instrumental. The same applies to the stipulation contained in the Treaty of Lisbon regarding a common defence policy, which may potentially lead to a common defence;9 it also applies to the establishment of permanent structured cooperation,10 as well as to the country’s involvement in a strengthened European Defence Agency in order to enable it to benefit from synergies in technological developments, procurement and sales.11 The EU and its Member States are expected to make stronger efforts to organise the use of resources for CSDP in a more economic, target-oriented and efficient manner. This will result 7 The European Police Office (EUROPOL), the European Union’s Judicial Cooperation Unit (EUROJUST), the European Agency for the Management of Operational Coordination at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (FRONTEX), the European Police College (CEPOL), the European Union’s Joint Situation Centre (SITCEN), the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and the Vienna-based European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) represent important elements here. 8 Article 43(1) TEU 9 Article 42(2) TEU 10 Article 42(6) TEU 11 Article 45 TEU 13
