2013/0801(CNS)

PURPOSE: to amend Decision 2009/935/JHA as regards the list of third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements.

PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.

BACKGROUND: it is for the Council to determine, pursuant to point (a) of Article 26(1) of Decision 2009/371/JHA, the list of the third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements. The list is set out in the Annex to Decision 2009/935/JHA.

It is for Europol's Management Board to review when necessary the list and to decide whether to propose to the Council amendments thereto.

At its meeting of 3-4 October 2012, Europol's Management Board decided to recommend to the Council to add certain third States to the list, outlining the operational need to do so.

It is now necessary to recommend the extension of the list in question in order to insert a number of new countries.

CONTENT: under this proposed Council Decision, it is provided to amend the list of third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements, as set in Decision 2009/935/JHA. The list shall include the following new entries:

  • Brazil
  • Georgia
  • Mexico
  • United Arab Emirates.
