ZAGREB: Brexit will not negatively affect cooperation between the intelligence services in Europe, the EU’s anti-terrorism coordinator said.
Cooperation between the intelligence services is already “outside the institutional framework of the” EU, and non-members Norway and Switzerland are already part of it, he told AFP.He said that the issue is more whether if, and in what form, London will continue to have access to EU police data. In recent years, the SIS information base has become an important tool for tracking jihadists entering Europe from Syria and Iraq.
De Kerchove said the EU has worked in close cooperation with the US on law enforcement matters and “it would be absurd that our geographically close neighbour finds itself in an inferior situation to that of the Americans, particularly in the fight against terrorism.”He said recent developments on the ground could lead the Islamic State group to “rebuild” after the defeat of its caliphate.
