The Conference of Presidents (leaders of political groups and the President of the European Parliament) decided today in Strasbourg that the European Parliament would suspend its cooperation with the Council on five dossiers until a satisfactory outcome is achieved on Schengen governance. The five dossiers covered by the Conference of Presidents' decision are the following: 1) Amendment of Schengen border code and Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement; 2) Judicial cooperation in criminal matters: combating attacks against information systems; 3) European Investigation Order; 4) Budget 2013 aspects relating to Internal Security and 5) EU Passenger Name Records.
