question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on cross-border security of the loss of real-time access to the Schengen Information System; and how many requests for information from that System have been made by the UK since 31 December 2020.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2021 answer text <p>In the absence of UK participation in the 2<sup>nd</sup> generation Schengen Information System (SIS II), although there will be a mutual loss of capability, the Government is clear that cooperation with EU partners through pre-existing bilateral channels is unaffected, and that Interpol provides a tried and tested mechanism for exchanging law enforcement alert information. Interpol was the primary means by which the UK exchanged warnings alerts with EU Member States as recently as 2015. It remains the primary means by which EU Member States share information with partners who do not have access to SIS II. Our assessment is that the UK was a safe country before joining SIS II in 2015 and we will continue to be one of the safest countries in the world.</p><p>The UK disconnected from the SIS II system at 2300 on the 31<sup>st</sup> December. There have, therefore, been no searches against SIS II by the UK since the 31<sup>st</sup> December.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/01/2021 12:19:42 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the annual cost of the UK's participation in (1) the European Medicines Agency, (2) the European Chemicals Agency, and (3) the European Aviation Safety Agency; and how much they estimate setting up and running replacement agencies would cost in the event of continued participation not being possible after Brexit.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text <p>Currently, Member States do not contribute to individual agencies, but to EU budgets as a whole. It is therefore not possible to use the UK’s financing share of the whole budget to calculate our contribution to specific EU Agencies.</p><p>As set out in the Political Declaration on the Framework of the Future Relationship between the EU and the UK, we are exploring the possibility of cooperation of United Kingdom authorities with Union agencies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). We will carry on working with the European Union to see on what basis and under what conditions UK participation can take place. The exact arrangements will be a matter for the next phase of negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/12/2018 13:45:54 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
