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 third subparagraph of Article 10(4) thereof,

Whereas:
(1) |
Under Protocol No 36, the United Kingdom had the possiblity 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. |

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 Council decided by Decision 2014/836/EU (4) that the United Kingdom is to undertake a full business and implementation case in order to assess the merits and practical benefits of the United Kingdom rejoining the Prüm Decisions and the necessary steps for it to do so, the results of which are to be published by 30 September 2015. If the business and implementation case is positive, the United Kingdom will decide, by 31 December 2015, whether to notify the Council, within the following four weeks, of its wish to participate in the Prüm Decisions, in accordance with Article 10(5) of Protocol No 36. |
