Summary:After several years which had been marked more by difficult negotiations than by substantive progress of the EU's area of freedom, security and justice, 2013 saw the completion of four major projects: the remaining legislative acts needed for the completion of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) were adopted, the second-generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) as well as the border surveillance system Eurosur started to operate, and the Schengen governance reform initiated under the pressure of the 2011 Arab Spring refugee movements ended with a legislative compromise which - contrary to some initial concerns - strengthened rather than weakened the Schengen system overall. Some legislative progress was also achieved in the fields of migration policy and judicial co-operation. However, there were also a number of implementation challenges identified, and negotiations on several other legal instruments again proved to be difficult.
