European Commissioner for Home Affairs

The European Commissioner for Home Affairs is a member of the European Commission. Its responsibilities include internal security, counter-terrorism, law enforcement, migration policy, border control, and maintaining the Schengen Area's integrity.[1]

The position was created in 2010 by dividing the previous Justice, Freedom and Security portfolio into a security orientated post (DG HOME) and a post centered on justice, on individual and fundamental rights (DG JUST). Its DG is the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME).
