Treaty of Prüm: Cross-border cooperation against terrorism and crime

This procedure concerns the implementation of the Prüm Treaty, which aims to strengthen cooperation between EU member states and other parties to fight terrorism and organized crime. It focuses on improving the exchange of DNA, fingerprint, and vehicle registration data to track criminals across borders more effectively.

Law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities are primarily affected. The agreement allows for faster, automated data sharing, reducing the time needed to identify suspects in cross-border criminal investigations.
