On 5 March 2014, the Permanent Representatives Committee (Coreper) approved a compromise reached with the European Parliament on an initiative of several member states for a regulation amending Decision establishing the European Police College (CEPOL).

On 11 March 2014, the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs also approved that agreement, which paves the way for the formal adoption of the regulation by the European Parliament and the Council before the end of the Parliamentary term under the Greek Presidency.

The decision will allow CEPOL to move its seat from Bramshill (United Kingdom) to Budapest (Hungary), following the information from the United Kingdom that it could no longer host CEPOL.
