Verbatim report of proceedings

Wednesday, 14 October 2015 - Brussels

Access for consultation of the Visa Information System (VIS) by Member States and Europol for the prevention, detection and investigation of terrorist offences and of other serious criminal offences (A8-0287/2015 - Timothy Kirkhope)

  Jonathan Arnott (EFDD), in writing. ‒ I do not believe that there are sufficient and appropriate safeguards to enable this information to be shared properly. In addition, I believe that international cooperation on such matters should take place via the appropriate agency (Interpol) rather than be dealt with by the European Union. For that reason I considered it appropriate to vote against.
