France is demanding the more effective use of the Schengen Information System: a shared database allowing security forces to raise pan-Schengen alerts on individuals, objects and vehicles.
It is also calling for the easier sharing of airline passenger data and for a true E
urope-wide agency to police Schengen's external borders. Thoughministers still reject the idea of the latter.
Promises to actions?
Political promises flow easily following heart-stopping atrocities but as a high-level UK security advisor pointed out to me, secret services like to keep information, well, secret.
Sadly, Europe has experienced a number of terror attacks in recent years.
After Madrid in 2004, London in 2005 and this year's Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, pledges were made on cross-border co-operation.
They have all too easily dissolved into cross-border squabbling.
