of 11 October 2018
on the signing, on behalf of the Union, of the Arrangement between the European Union, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Iceland, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein, of the other part, on the participation by those States in the European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 74, points (a) and (b) of Article 77(2), point (e) of Article 78(2), point (c) of Article 79(2), point (d) of Article 82(1), Article 85(1), point (a) of Article 87(2) and Article 88(2), in conjunction with Article 218(5), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) established the European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (the ‘Agency’). |
(2) |
Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 provides that under the relevant provisions of their association agreements, arrangements are to be made in order to specify, inter alia, the nature and extent of, and the detailed rules for, the participation of countries associated with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis and Eurodac-related measures in the work of the Agency, including provisions on financial contributions, staff and voting rights. |
(3) |
On 24 July 2012, the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Iceland, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein for an arrangement on the modalities of their participation in the Agency. The negotiations were successfully concluded by the initialling of the Arrangement between the European Union, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Iceland, the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein, of the other part, on the participation by those States in the European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice (the ‘Arrangement’) on 15 June 2018. |

The United Kingdom and Ireland should therefore give effect to Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1077/2011 by taking part in this Decision. The United Kingdom and Ireland are therefore taking part in this Decision. |
(6) |
