Denmark withdrew from the Europol

Monday, may 1, Denmark withdrew from the Europol, police organization for the European Union.

“Denmark in connection with its special legal status in the EU ceased to participate in the work of Europol, which became supranational structure, the European judicial bodies”.

At the same time Denmark has signed with the EU a special agreement to further judicial cooperation, in the framework of which there will be exchange of information and personnel between Europol and the Danish police.

A new agreement between the EU and Denmark was signed on Saturday, April 29.

In a referendum in December 2015, 53% of citizens voted against the strengthening of close cooperation with police and legal structures of the EU. Since then, the Prime Minister of Denmark Lars løkke Rasmussen vigorously searched for a compromise to save the police interaction with the European Union and access to the database of Europol.

The new agreement will allow the city to request from Europol information as long as Denmark is in the Schengen area.
