The Commission adopted the Seventh Progress Report on the implementation of the EU Security Union Strategy for 2020-2025.

It takes stock of progress and achievements in key areas: 

1. Strengthening the EU's physical and digital infrastructure. The increase of hybrid attacks against critical infrastructure in the EU has highlighted the need to step up their protection and resilience to prevent or mitigate the impact of disruptions of the essential services they underpin. 
2. Fighting terrorism and radicalisation. Throughout this Commission's mandate, fighting terrorism has been a priority of the EU Security Union Strategy for 2020-2025 and the implementation of the 2020 EU Agenda on Counter-Terrorism is well on track. 
3. Fighting organised crime. Ever since the start of this mandate, the Commission has stepped up efforts to fight organised crime. The Commission has launched several different initiatives, including cybercrime, migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings, environmental crime, economic and financial crime and corruption.
4. Strengthening law enforcement and judicial cooperation. The Commission has strengthened cooperation between law enforcement and judicial authorities across the EU, notably through the legal framework on police cooperation adopted in 2024, which upgraded the key tools available to improve cross-border operations in the EU.
5. Strengthening security cooperation with international partners. During this mandate, the Commission acted quickly to pre-empt internal security threats stemming from Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine including through the establishment of a support hub for internal security and border management in Moldova. The EU has boosted cooperation with partner countries, works closely with the UN, and has expanded its cooperation with NATO.
6. Working with EU agencies to implement the Security Union. EU agencies and bodies in justice, home affairs and cybersecurity, but also sectorial agencies have proven instrumental in supporting the implementation of this robust EU security framework. Enhanced cooperation between agencies has led to concrete operational results, contributing to enhancing the overall security in Member States.
