It is difficult to think of a more far-ranging and effective partnership in the field of security than that of the European Union. The EU security partnership main elements are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Europol, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation;<\/li>\n<li>Eurojust, which facilitates judicial cooperation in criminal matters among agencies of the member states;<\/li>\n<li>The Second Generation Schengen Information System (SIS II), which enables agencies of the member states to enter and consult alerts on persons or objects;<\/li>\n<li>The European Arrest Warrant (EAW), a simplified cross-border judicial surrender procedure that replaced the lengthy extradition procedures that used to exist between EU countries;<\/li>\n<li>The European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS), which connects national criminal databases and allows for information exchange;<\/li>\n<li>The Pr\u00fcm Decisions, providing for the automated exchange of DNA, fingerprints and vehicle registration data; and<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Passenger Name Records (PNR), passenger information collected by airlines that is compared against law enforcement databases and shared with Europol and agencies of the member states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the Winter 2017 issue of City Security magazine, Stephen Massey and I contributed an article <a href=\"https:\/\/citysecuritymagazine.com\/risk-management\/opinion-security-brexit\/\">What are the implications of Brexit for security?<\/a>\u00a0discussing security and Brexit, and the co-operation between the UK and the EU. In the article, we argued that there was no question that this would continue after Brexit: with the threat of terrorism and serious crime increasing, it is in the interests of both parties that strong co-operation is maintained. We noted that, although there is no precedent for access by non-EU or non-Schengen countries to ECRIS or SIS II, for example, there is equally no precedent for negotiations with a former member state that is such a significant contributor to European security arrangements.<\/p>\n<h4>Brexit and security: Future partnerships for the EU and the UK<\/h4>\n<p>The House of Lords European Union Committee concluded in a December 2016 report that there was a strong case to support the government pursuing a wide-ranging bespoke arrangement, and the same view was put forward in September 2017 in a policy paper by the Department for Exiting the European Union and the Home Office. The \u2018Future Partnerships\u2019 paper set out a plan for a new treaty with the EU that retains the current system of co-operation, arguing that, \u201cwith threats evolving faster than ever before\u201d, the UK and EU should \u201cwork together to design new, dynamic arrangements as part of the future partnership\u201d, to a degree that \u201cgoes beyond the existing, often ad hoc arrangements for EU third-country relationships\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Political Declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union, which was published in conjunction with the Withdrawal Agreement in late November last year, is non-committal in terms of detail, but sets out intentions for \u201can ambitious and comprehensive future security relationship\u201d and \u201ccomprehensive and close reciprocal law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Presently, this is a matter for the back burner: the current focus in politics is the Withdrawal Agreement, and much posturing from a variety of political positions is taking place across government and in the EU. The agreement that the government has negotiated largely allows for the current security arrangements to continue through the Brexit implementation period of 21 months, set to begin in March, leaving future arrangements still to be negotiated. At the International Security Expo, The Rt Hon Ben Wallace MP, Minister for Security and Economic Crime, gave a well-publicised speech to delegates as part of the government\u2019s bid to garner support for its deal. He described the deal as delivering \u201cthe broadest security partnership in the EU\u2019s history\u201d, while warning of the uncertainty that would arise should the deal be rejected by Parliament \u2013 as it indeed was.<\/p>\n<p>There has been much hysteria about the risks of a \u2018no deal\u2019 situation, but this is unfortunately the character of politics and the media, and my view on where things stand is that there is no need to panic and we should simply wait and see. If absolutely necessary, there is room for a short extension of Article 50 with the agreement of the European Council, which is the EU\u2019s grouping for members\u2019 heads of state.<\/p>\n<p>The Institute for Government think tank has just produced an alarming report on the challenges that will be faced in the event of no withdrawal agreement or no transition period, but it is clearly in both parties\u2019 interests to avoid this situation. The objective of the rejected Withdrawal Agreement was to provide \u201ca smooth exit and orderly transition to the future relationship for people, businesses and organisations across our country\u201d, and the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration were settled on the basis that \u201cnothing is agreed until everything is agreed\u201d, meaning that, far from being finalised, the Brexit negotiations are only just beginning.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, as security practitioners, we just need to continue to do what we are best at, which is to carry on helping to shape the UK\u2019s security capabilities that continuously impress the rest of the world. To borrow Kipling, \u201cif you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs\u201d, there is much that can still be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Alison Wakefield, Chairman, Security Institute<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.security-institute.org\/\">www.security-institute.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Security and Brexit: Security co-operation after Brexit As Brexit negotiations continue, Alison Wakefield, Chairman&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":7326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70,2,35,4176],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-contingency-planning","category-editors-choice","category-risk-management","category-security-institute"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.2) -
