EU: Prum confusion

The effect of making two proposals for the third pillar aspects of Prum is that the short proposal would not be governed by the rules on data protection in the Treaty of Prum (ie as set out in the longer proposal). Instead, as a measure building on the Schengen acquis, the short proposal would be governed by the Schengen data protection rules, ie arts 126-130 of the Schengen Convention, which would in turn be replaced by the Framework Decision on data protection if agreed.
