BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – The European Council approved a text on a draft regulation of the European Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Training (Europol) at a Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on Friday.
"Information and intelligence sharing is a problem in Europe…All initiatives undertaken so far by the Commission hopefully will lead very soon to a better, based on mutual trust, exchange of intelligence and information," Avramopoulos told reporters.
Avramopoulos said in a tweet later that Europol had signed an exchange of information agreement with the external border protection agency Frontex. In a press briefing, the commissioner emphasized the need to exchange information to ensure the safety of the citizens of all EU member states.
