National EMN contact point to be relocated to Academy of Security Sciences

According to a directive of Minister of the Interior Mart Helme (EKRE), Estonia’s national contact point for the European Migration Network (EMN), which is within the area of administration of the Ministry of the Interior, is to start work at the Institute of Internal Security of the Estonian Academy of Security Sciences on Jan. 1, 2020.

The national contact point is currently operating at Tallinn University (TLÜ).

“In most member states, the national contact point of the European Migration Network is within the area of administration of the Ministry of the Interior or the Ministry of Justice,” Helme said. “The studies and analyses carried out via the migration network have been increasingly dealing with issues concerning internal safety and security. Such sensitive information exchange will work more effectively within the internal security domain.”
