COUNCIL RESOLUTION

of 29 April 2004

on security at European Council meetings and other comparable events

(2004/C 116/06)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Bearing in mind Council Joint Action 97/339/JHA of 26 May 1997 with regard to cooperation on law and order and security (1), and Council Directive 64/221/EEC of 25 February 1964 on the coordination of special measures concerning the movement and residence of foreign nationals which are justified on grounds of public policy, public security or public health (2),

Recalling the Council Conclusions of 13 July 2001 on security at meetings of the European Council and other comparable events,

Emphasising the importance of the security handbook for the use of police authorities and services at international events such as meetings of the European Council, which was approved by the Council at its meeting on 28 and 29 November 2002,

Whereas:

| — | Member States' authorities responsible for security and public order at European Council meetings and other comparable international events have to ensure that the right of free expression of opinion and the right of peaceful assembly are upheld, while as far as possible preventing interference by those whose aims or actions constitute an offence or involve the use of violence, |

| — | the disturbances that have occurred at some European Council meetings and other comparable international events have restricted full enjoyment of the freedoms enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, |
| --- | --- |

—

the disturbances that have occurred at some European Council meetings and other comparable international events have restricted full enjoyment of the freedoms enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights,

| --- | --- |

—

subject to national legislation, cooperation between Member States' police forces should also be fostered by means of a targeted exchange of information of use in preventing disruption of public order and for security at events,

| — | the lack of information and alerts on individuals in respect of whom there are well-founded suspicions that they may disrupt the holding of European Council meetings or other comparable international events may inhibit the effective and less onerous application of the measures provided for in Article 2(2) of the Schengen Convention, |

HEREBY ADOPTS THIS RESOLUTION:

| 1. | In accordance with national law, Member States are invited to supply the Member State hosting a European Council meeting or another comparable event with any information available to them on movements, in order to be present at that event, by individuals or groups in respect of whom there are substantial grounds for believing that they intend to enter the Member State with the aim of disrupting public order and security at the event or committing offences relating to the event.

The Member State supplying the information may also specify any other relevant details and the level of reliability of the information.

| 3. | Any Member State applying border controls for the protection of European Council meetings or comparable events, in particular under Article 2(2) of the Schengen Convention, may also take every step to limit, as far as possible, the inconvenience caused by checks on travellers; precedence should accordingly be given to intelligence-led checks focused on individuals in respect of whom there are substantial grounds for believing that they intend to enter the Member State with the aim of disrupting public order and security at the event or committing offences relating to the event. |
