The ministers of Justice and Home Affairs will meet in Luxembourg

An agreement to fight international drug trafficking and to move forward on establishing enhanced cooperation in terms of legislation regarding divorces and separations are some of the main legislative matters that the ministers of Justice and Interior will be debating in the JHA Council, which will take place on 3 and 4 June in Luxembourg.

This Council will consider non-legislative subjets at the meeting, such as the possibility of creating an International Anti-Corruption Academy or setting up a system to share the burden involved in accepting asylum seekers. Recently, the EU has published the regulation on the creation of Asylum Support Office

Internal affairs will be the focus of Thursday's session, which will be chaired by the Spanish minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba; while Justice will be dealt with on Friday's session, to be chaired by the Spanish minister Francisco Caamaño.

Other problems will also be analysed on 3 June, such as the question of how to help European citizens in crossing foreign borders; follow-up of the European Pact on Immigration and Asylum, and the action plan to increase the protection of unaccompanied minors, which encompases common standards for guardianship and legal representation.

But one of the most important subject will be the fight against international drug trafficking organisations. On that point, justice and interior ministers have took actions last april.

On 4 June, the Justice ministers plan to approve decisive elements in the field of coordinating divorce and separation legislation, making progress on what will be the first legal enhanced cooperation in the EU. The Commission has recently proposed a law that will allow couples to choose which country's laws apply to their divorce, thus facilitating divorce process in cross-border marriages.

Other areas for discussion will see talks focusing on guaranteeing the right to translation and interpreting services in court cases; the directive on the fight against human trafficking and the need to agree on policy in order to make progress on drawing up inheritance regulations.
