To protect the EU against terrorist attacks and yet safeguard citizens’ rights, Members of the European Parliamwnt advocated de-radicalisation programmes, stepping up checks at Schengen area external borders, and better information exchange among EU member states, in a resolution voted on the 11 February 2015. They urged member states to make faster progress on the Data Protection Package, so that talks could proceed in parallel with those on an EU Passenger Name Record proposal and thus deliver a full set of EU data protection rules. According to EurActiv on 12 February 2015, the Greens in the European Parliament were left as the only group opposing the PNR package, following the agreement from the Socialists and Liberals to agree to it with conditions. Further border control mechanisms were also subject to discussion by the European leaders during the European Council which took place on 12 February 2015. You can find more information in here. |
