COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2018/890
of 4 June 2018
on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Additional Protocol to the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 83(1), in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) |
In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2015/1914 (2), the Additional Protocol to the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism (3) (‘the Additional Protocol’) was signed on 22 October 2015, subject to its conclusion. |
(2) |
Article 10 of the Additional Protocol provides that the Additional Protocol shall be open for approval by the Union. |
(3) |
Directive (EU) 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) established common Union rules on combatting terrorism. Consequently, the Union has already adopted measures in different areas covered by the Additional Protocol. |
(4) |
The Additional Protocol should therefore be approved on behalf of the Union as regards matters falling within the competence of the Union in so far as the Additional Protocol may affect those common rules or alter their scope. The Member States retain their competence in so far as the Additional Protocol does not affect common rules or alter the scope thereof. |
(5) |
The Additional Protocol requires each Party to designate a point of contact for the purpose of exchange of information on persons travelling abroad for the purpose of terrorism. Europol should be designated as the point of contact for the Union. Points of contact for the Member States may also be designated. |
(6) |
Ireland is bound by Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA (5) and is therefore taking part in the adoption of this Decision. |
(7) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and without prejudice to Article 4 of that Protocol, the United Kingdom is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application. |
(8) |
In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision and is not bound by it or subject to its application, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Additional Protocol to the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, as regards matters falling within the competence of the Union, is hereby approved on behalf of the Union.
The text of the Additional Protocol is attached to this Decision.
