What this bill does

In plain terms: what it changes and who it affects.

It adds Denmark to the list of countries with which Europol may conclude a cooperation agreement.

Who it affects

Europol and Denmark are directly affected. Indirectly, it concerns cross-border crime and terrorism investigations that depend on Europol cooperation.

Core of the proposal
  • Treats Denmark as a third country for Europol cooperation purposes.
  • Amends the EU list of third States and organisations eligible for Europol agreements.
  • Aims to prevent a cooperation gap when Denmark leaves Europol as a Member State.
  • Supports cooperation on serious crime, terrorism, and other EU-interest crime.
Key provisions
Takes effect
It applies from 1 May 2017, alongside the new Europol Regulation’s application to Denmark as a third country.
Transitional law
It is designed to avoid an operational gap after 1 May 2017, when Denmark stops participating in Europol as a Member State.
