21st June 2006

Centre for European Policy Studies(CEPS)

1 Place du Congrès, B-1000 Brussels

Conference Room

The seminar seeks to examine the Treaty of Prum in the context of the EU measures and proposals. How will the two venues for cooperation, coordination and harmonisation operate together? What are the tensions present in the new articulation of responsibilities in this field. This seminar is a ’must’ for all policy makers and researchers following the JHA field. It will also address why we have Prüm, and the extent to which this Treaty enhances EU cross-border cooperation in the field of security. Moreover, the event analyses the political and legal implications of data exchange, which is the core instrument of signatories, by comparing it to the principle of availability.

This event falls within the framework of the CHALLENGE project which is funded by the Sixth Framework Research Programme of the Directorate-General for Research of the European Commission (For more information about the project see www.libertysecurity.org).

You may find below the programme of the event. In case you would be interested in attending, please send me the registration form hereby attached before the 19th June 2006 via e-mail or by fax: 0032-02-2194151.
