Abstract
Internal security and judicial cooperation in the EC have developed outside the framework of the treaties in the past. The completion of the Single Market and the provisions of the Maastricht treaty make effective cooperation among the Twelve and EC and other bodies on these issues imperative. This article looks at the EC's security competence; the scope of internal security policy; asylum and immigration; operational issues and security cooperation within Schengen and with Central and Eastern Europe. It concludes that streamlining the multiplicity of bodies engaged in similar activities is imperative.
