Description
Summary:An article treating essential elements of the first Schengen Agreement (1985) & the principle novelties added by the Prum, also called Schengen III, Treaty of May 2005 (in particular the fight against terrorism, international crime, & illegal immigration). Furthermore, an effort to measure the institutional & substantial implications. The Prum Treaty has been criticized for harming national European politics regarding interior security, but member States eager to cooperate found in it a quick solution. The EU's article 40 requiring consultation of the European Parliament, the European Commission, & the approval of a qualified majority of the Council, obligations highly likely to slow down activation of the Treaty were set aside. Thus applying the virtues of classic international treaties as opposed to EU mechanisms of the last 10 years. Lack of negative response institutions as well as member states might indicate that new initiatives are possible within the institutional system. O. van Zijl
