Internal Security Fund
(asked on 17th November 2014) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Government plans to opt in to the EU Internal Security Fund for the period 2014 to 2020.
This question was answered on 20th November 2014
The EU Internal Security Fund was adopted on 16 April 2014 and comprises two EU Regulations. The Government chose not to opt in to the policing element when it was proposed but undertook to review that decision post adoption and is considering its position in advance of consulting Parliament. The UK cannot join the ‘borders and visas’ Regulation as it is a measure relating to that part of Schengen in which the UK does not participate.
