Topic

EU

The text of forthcoming Council Conclusions on Internal Security and European Police Partnership have been agreed, with formal approval due at the Justice and Home Affairs Council on 14 December. The Conclusions emphasise the upgrading of databases and increasing law enforcement officials' access to information and personal data; the need to make use of new technologies (such as artificial intelligence) and to undermine encryption; ensure closer cooperation with non-EU states and with military operations; call for new means and methods to address transnational organised crime; and stress (yet again) the need for reinforced cooperation to deal with terrorism. A separate set of Conclusions, included as an annex, set out measures for stepping up cross-border police cooperation.
