UK to Lose Access to Million Pieces of Information on Criminals in Case of a No-Deal Brexit
From the Independent:
Britain will be at greater risk from terrorism and organised crime if it crashes out of the EU without a deal, a government document has admitted.
Attempts to reach new security agreements with EU members – to replace the European Arrest Warrant and the Schengen Information System database of suspects – “cannot fully compensate”, it concedes.
The admission comes just weeks after James Cleverly, the Conservative party chairman, insisted security co-operation would continue seamlessly, even after a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.
In contrast, the ‘No-Deal Readiness Report, published by Michael Gove, states that a crash-out “would result in some mutual loss of capability for the UK and EU member states”.
The UK would be forced to aim for “maximising our use of Interpol” and to use “bilateral channels and other multilateral mechanisms outside EU structures”.
Or, in other words, what we had to rely on before the UK joined the EU system.
