Prüm Convention

Question

Her Majesty's Government whether they intend the UK to be a party to the Prum Convention after leaving the EU.

Answer

The Prime Minister has made clear that one of the twelve objectives for the negotiations ahead will be to establish a new relationship with the European Union that includes practical arrangements on matters of law enforcement cooperation to tackle cross-border crime and to keep our people safe.

We continue to work closely with EU partners and we are examining the options for future cooperation on measures such as Eurojust and the Prüm Council Decisions once the UK has left the EU but it is too early to speculate at this stage what future arrangements may look like.
