"The European Council has endorsed a pan-European police database that
was established by a small club of countries outside the European framework
last year.

The German presidency of the EU plans to push the legislation through the
European Parliament by the end of its term on 30 June. It expects the
proposal, for the integration of police databases across Europe, to be
implemented by the end of the year.

"Our aim is to create a modern police information network for more
effective crime control throughout Europe," the council said in a
statement."


Indeed. As has been the case for some years & will happen globally
within a comparatively short period of time.
