The Executive Director Dr. Udo Helmbrecht comments:

 “I am pleased to announce the appointment of 30 members of the next PSG. In my vision for the Agency, I am convinced Europe needs more cooperation and dialogue with all security stakeholders. The PSG plays an important role in this respect. I am looking forward to working closely with each and every member of the PSG. I am confident the expertise, insight and broad experience the members will bring to the PSG will be beneficial to the Agency. As Chair of the PSG, I am determined to take every opportunity to involve the PSG in taking ENISA further and, in particular, to carefully consider their advice before taking strategic decisions.”
