Draft Model Agreement on Co-operation with Third States
Next on the agenda is a document that has come from the European Committee. It is European document 302, which is a draft model agreement on co-operation with third states and is in connection with the European Police Office. The clerks have helpfully supplied a note.
I have had a look through the document on the committee's behalf. I thought that the committee would want to consider any issue concerned with control over the police, but it is clear that this is supposed to be a model agreement only, which might or might not be used by various states if they want to set up agreements between their police forces and Europol. It is in no way binding and is simply something that the committee should note. It is not a substantive issue.
Is everybody happy that we note this and move on?
Yes.
