Extracts of the LIBE meeting: follow-up to the extraordinary meeting of EU Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs of Thursday 24 March 2016 after the terrorist attacks in Brussels on 22 March 2016

SOUNDBITE (English), Claude MORAES (S&amp;D, UK), Chair of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs , We need a whole range of measures aimed at addressing the various dimensions of terrorism, ranging from effective police and judicial cooperation, the sharing of information between national authorities including via PNR (Passenger Name Record) based on the report of our colleague mr KIRKHOPE, the fight against radicalisation when we adopted the DATI report, and the many other aspects of the work undertaken by the members of this committee. Colleagues, the sharing of information between Member States authorities via EUROPOLhas not yet reached the required level and this, and many other challenges lie ahead us.

SOUNDBITE (English), Claude MORAES (S&amp;D, UK), Chair of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, I urge the Commission on behalf of this committee, to ensure that Member States who have not yet delivered, ensure that they implement these PR&Uuml;M decisions (rules for joint operational police cooperation), and other decision which have not yet happened, some of them since 2008.

SOUNDBITE (French), Sylvie GUILLAUME (S&amp;D, FR), We also had the opportunity to emphasize the crucial subject of sharing of information, which has been discussed at lenght, with question of interoperability, the analysis of the data we have as well as the ressources that we can share.
