COUNCIL DECISION
of 27 November 2014
determining certain consequential and transitional arrangements concerning the cessation of the participation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in certain acts of the Union in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters adopted before the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon
(2014/836/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to Protocol No 36 on transitional provisions (hereinafter ‘Protocol No 36’), annexed to the Treaty on European Union, to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 10(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Under Protocol No 36, the United Kingdom had the possibility to notify to the Council, by 31 May 2014, that it does not accept the powers of the Commission and of the Court of Justice, introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, with respect to acts of the Union in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters which had been adopted before the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon. |
(2) |
By letter to the President of the Council dated 24 July 2013, the United Kingdom notified the Council that it does not accept the powers of the Commission and of the Court of Justice introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. As a consequence, the relevant acts in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters cease to apply to the United Kingdom on 1 December 2014. |
(3) |
The United Kingdom may notify its wish to participate in the acts which have ceased to apply to it. |
(4) |
The United Kingdom has indicated its intention to notify its wish to participate in some of those acts. |
(5) |
In accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 10(4) of Protocol No 36, the Council should, on a proposal from the Commission, determine the necessary consequential and transitional arrangements. The Council may also, on the basis of the third subparagraph of Article 10(4), determine that the United Kingdom should bear the direct financial consequences necessarily and unavoidably incurred as a result of the cessation of its participation in those acts. |
(6) |
Any disruption in the implementation and application of the acts which the United Kingdom has sought to rejoin should be avoided. Those acts should therefore continue to apply to the United Kingdom for a limited transitional period until the decisions of the Council and the Commission authorising the participation of the United Kingdom take effect. |
(7) |
As the United Kingdom has not notified the Council of its wish to participate in Council Decisions 2008/615/JHA (1) and 2008/616/JHA (2) and Council Framework Decision 2009/905/JHA (3) (hereinafter ‘the Prüm Decisions’), they will cease to apply to the United Kingdom as from 1 December 2014. As a consequence of the cessation of their application, and until such time as the United Kingdom rejoins the Prüm Decisions, it should be prevented from accessing for law enforcement purposes the Eurodac database set up under Regulation (EU) No 603/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). |
(8) |
However, given the practical and operational significance of the Prüm Decisions to the Union for public security, and more particularly for law enforcement and the prevention, detection and investigation of criminal offences, the United Kingdom should, in close consultation with operational partners in the United Kingdom, the Member States,... |
