"Norway's accession means that EU member states will have access to Norway's DNA, fingerprint and vehicle registration, and vice versa. Norway's accession also means that Norwegian law enforcement authorities will be able to participate in joint operations and provide assistance to EU member states at higher events, disasters and serious accidents.

Specifically, the Norwegian connection, for example, mean that the Swedish police will be better able to find out whether a DNA trace that is found at a crime scene in Sweden have been linked to a DNA profile of a suspected perpetrator in Norway. Today's operational partnership with Norway will be deepened, for example, may be appropriate to invite the Norwegian police to Sweden as the strengthening of international football matches."
