(2) The Stockholm Programme reaffirms the priority of developing an area of freedom, security and justice and specifies within its political priorities the achievement of a Europe of law and justice. Financing is identified as one of the important tools for the successful implementation of the Stockholm Programme's political priorities. The ambitious goals set by the Treaties and by the Stockholm programme should be realised by establishing a flexible and effective programme which will facilitate planning and implementation.

(8) The Commission Communications ‘The EU Budget Review’ and ‘A budget for Europe 2020’ also underline the importance of focusing funding on activities with clear European added value, i.e. where the Union intervention can bring additional value compared to action of Member States alone. Actions covered by this Regulation should contribute to the creation of a European area of justice by promoting the principle of mutual recognition, developing mutual trust between the Member States, increasing cross-border cooperation and networking and developing e-justice and achieving correct, coherent and consistent application of Union law. Funding activities should also contribute to achieving effective and better knowledge of Union law and policies by all those concerned, and provide a sound analytical basis for the support and the development of Union legislation and policies. Union intervention allows for those actions to be pursued consistently across the Union and brings economies of scale. Moreover the Union is in a better position than Member States to address cross-border situations and to provide a European platform for mutual learning.
