Europol agreements: cooperation with Denmark

The European Parliament adopted by 632 votes to 10, with 51 abstentions, following a special legislative procedure (Parliament’s consultation), a legislative resolution on the draft Council implementing decision amending Decision 2009/935/JHA as regards the list of third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements.

As a reminder, the Council draft seeks to amend Council Decision 2009/935/JHA which determines the list of third States and organisations with which Europol shall conclude agreements.

In line with its Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, Parliament approved, unamended, the Council draft.

The Council is called on to provide, within the provisions of the future arrangement between Europol and Denmark, for an expiry date of five years after the date of entry into force thereof, in order to ensure its transitional nature with a view to full membership or the conclusion of an international agreement in accordance with Article 218 TFEU.
