The Prüm Treaty was signed, outside the EU’s legal framework, on 27 May 2005, by seven Member States, with the aim, as they put it, of ‘cross-border cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism and cross-border crime’. Since then, nine more Member States, including Portugal, have stated their intention to ratify it.
This Treaty forms part of the securitarianism that has been brought in under the cloak of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’, entailing serious risks to the citizens’ rights, freedoms and guarantees.
What is at stake is the establishment of a framework for police cooperation – joint operations, mutual assistance and even the possibility of the police force of one Member State taking action on the territory of another. The latter appears to have caused controversy in the Council. The exchange of a wealth of information contained in personal data has proved similarly controversial. It is particularly significant that the majority in Parliament rejected our group’s proposal, whereby ‘it will be forbidden to process personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a political party or a union or relating to health or sex life.’
