The EU rejects the British plea for using crime and illegal migration databases

As part of a Brexit replacement, the European Union has rejected British appeals for access to critical crime and illegal migration databases.

In one fell swoop against the attempts of the downing street to improve security relationships with Europe, Brussels has informed the UK negotiator that the EU cannot share information, including the fingerprints of illegal migrants, with British police and immigration officers.

Sir Keir Starrer had received improved access to data, one of his central inquiries to the EU and said: “[The] We can share more, the better. “

However, Whitehall sources announced that the EU negotiators had made it clear last week that there could be no access to the Schengen Information System (SIS) that gives the Member States real-time warnings about criminal suspects.
