The Security & Defence Agenda (SDA), a non-governmental and non-profit think tank based in Brussels, is organising a round table on the topic of EU border security. PricewaterhouseCoopers is sponsoring this conference, which will take place in the beautiful 'Bibliothèque de Solvay' building located near the European Parliament. The round table will address the contribution the EU can make to effective border security. It will also assess to what extent EU-wide consensus exists on the threats against which Europe is defending its borders. The round table event will be opened by Stefano Manservisi, Director General for Home Affairs at the European Commission.
