Not agreed. I refer to No. 15, motion re proposed approval by Dáil Éireann for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and Training, Europol, and repealing Decisions 2009/371/JHA and 2005/681/JHA. This proposal deserves debate here. The joint supervisory body of Europol in a published opinion on this decision characterised it as a clearly retrograde step in respect of data protection issues. It is clearly a sensitive issue. We have debated these issues in the Chamber before. I do not believe it should go through on the nod and should be afforded time to be discussed.
