Post-Brexit UK-EU security cooperation – follow up
International Crime Coordination Centre Lead at National Police Chiefs Council
Director General Operations at National Crime Agency
The Committee will hear from representatives of UK law enforcement. This session will focus on the operational impact of the post-Brexit arrangements for policing and law enforcement cooperation between the UK and the EU, in particular criminal data exchange and extradition arrangements.
Possible questions include:
- The impact of the UK’s loss of access to the Schengen Information System (SIS II) on law enforcement;
- The operation of the provisions for criminal data exchange in the TCA, such as the so-called Prüm arrangements on DNA, fingerprint and vehicle registration information;
- The effectiveness of the new extradition arrangements introduced by the TCA;
- The operation of the UK’s new relationship with Europol;
- The consequences of a scenario where Part Three of the TCA was terminated, for instance as a result of the UK leaving the European Convention on Human Rights.
