EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Agreementagreement establishes cooperation between Europol and the competent authorities of Brazil with a view to allow the transfer of personal and non-personal data between them. Such an arrangement is necessary in order to support and strengthen the action by the authorities of the Member States of the Union and those of Brazil, in preventing and combating criminal offences, including serious crime and terrorism. At the same time, this agreement provides appropriate safeguards with respect to human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals, including the right to privacy and data protection.

Law enforcement cooperation in the areas of counter-terrorism, prevention and combating of organised crime and corruption, drug trafficking, cybercrime, money laundering, terrorist financing, and, illegal migration, can bring extensive benefits to both parties and it is in the interest of the European Union. A growing demand for drugs and increased drug trafficking routes into the European Union is a serious threat to our security. Europol should therefore be able to cooperate closely, including through the exchange of personal data, with law enforcement authorities of third countries, such as Brazil, in order to fight all those dangerous crimes.

The Rapporteur is of the opinion that the conclusion of this agreement will help in ensuring a safer and more secure Europe for our citizens. It is therefore recommended that the European Parliament give its consent to the conclusion of the agreement.
