<p>As set out in the Government’s White Paper on the process for withdrawing from
the European Union, published on 29 February 2016, the rules for exiting the EU are
set out in Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union. The process that would
be followed is unprecedented – no country has ever used Article 50. It would be a
complex negotiation involving all 27 remaining EU Member States and the Commission.</p><p>Should
the UK leave the EU, future collaboration in relation to the relevant EU Prüm measures
would depend on the outcome of the negotiation. Two non-EU countries (Norway and Iceland)
have concluded an agreement to access Prüm, although both are part of the border-free
Schengen area. The agreements were concluded in 2010, but neither agreement has yet
entered into force.</p>
