The European Commission is developing a new strategy, ProtectEU, to enhance internal security across the EU.
The plan aims to address threats such as terrorism, organized crime, cybercrime, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
ProtectEU proposes the expansion of Europol's role and enforcement tools, including a potential government-mandated backdoor for encryption.
The initiative also focuses on strengthening digital infrastructure, tightening regulations against organized crime, and expanding international cooperation.
