EU Intelligence Cooperation – New Dangers, Old Problems

Stjepan Novak orcid.org/0000-0002-6600-4974 ; Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia

Sažetak

Today, national security services of EU member states are faced with a situation in which they must preserve their own integrity but at the same time elevate intelligence cooperation in response to increasingly global threats and an increasingly global array of accessible data. The main obstacle to the development of intelligence cooperation at the Union level is the lack of trust—both of member states towards the Union, and among the member states themselves. On the other hand, external threats have always exerted a cohesive influence on this aspect of member state cooperation. In order to successfully balance these two tendencies, such cooperation should be based on common interests. Furthermore, this cooperation should not be too formal, and it should be regulated either by national laws or bilateral/multilateral agreements. The intelligence cooperation of the Union member states within the Union should not be formed by taking over the rights of member states as guaranteed by Union law, but rather within existing forms of cooperation.
