"Thank you very much, Madam President. Of course, in the United Kingdom, a lot of the debate on the European Union at the moment – as you know, we have a referendum coming up on June – is focussing on matters of security. We are being told by the Remain campaign that somehow Britain would not be secure if we were to leave the European Union. Of course we get most of our information on international terrorism in the UK from the Five Eyes Alliance, which doesn’t require political union or the handing—over of sovereignty. We also participate in Interpol, which has 190 members and was established long before Europol, just adding to the fact that NATO has kept the peace in Europe since 1945. They also lead on counter—terrorism and have a centre of excellence, focusing on cyber—crime, in Estonia.
But having said all of that, of course, we in the UK want to continue to work together with our neighbours and friends across Europe. This is not a debate about Brexit in the UK or to say that the UK wants to be some kind of ‘little England’ separated from the continent; rather we want to be a United Kingdom that takes its place in the wider world, but continues to be good friends and good neighbours with Europe. So of course a post—Brexit UK would continue to want to be good friends and good neighbours with Europe and to share data, perhaps, in the right way.
However, in terms of this report, as we are seeing today, there will be questions about what data will be collected on citizens. There will be questions to be asked, I am sure, at a later date."@en1
