EU: Council of the European Union:

- Outcome of the JHA Heads of Agencies Meeting on 24 November 2011 (pdf): The proposals for Justice and Home Affairs activities for 2012-2013 include six areas where cooperation between agencies could be "further enhanced" including: "the exchange of personal data amongst the agencies" The "Agencies" at this meeting were: Europol, CEPOL, Frontex, FRA, European Commission DG Justice and DG Home Affairs, OLAF, EMCDDA, Sitcen, GCS (General Secretariat of the Council). The Commission has just proposed a new Directive on the exchange of personal data by law enforcement agencies but not all of the above agencies are "law enforcement agencies" - there is clearly a need for an additional new Directive to cover their activities in exchanging personal data.

- Lessons and best practices for CSDP from the European Union Police Force Training (EUPFT) 2008-2010 (28 pages, pdf): This is a report from the European External Action Service (EEAS) to the Political and Security Committee (PSC) seeking on influence police training in the EU according to the needs of the "external dimension".

- Scorecard – Implementation of the JHA Agencies report (pdf)
