No, the various European intelligence agencies are very uneven in terms of quality, many have even been infiltrated by hostile powers (Germany's BND for example).
@9B4QR3M2yrs2Y
No they should work closely together though
@jexflies3yrs3Y
Somewhat, there should be intelligence agencies for separate countries as well as an EU intelligence agency
@8YCG22G3yrs3Y
No, but there should be a central database to make the sharing of information as seamless as possible.
@8TW7C2J4yrs4Y
only parts so that they work together but don't compromise secrets
It should be merged in limited areas such as terrorism but not all areas
Greater intelligence sharing with a smaller national group of dedicated intel officers
@8SLLC2Y4yrs4Y
Not merges, but better coordinated.
@8SLGP5V4yrs4Y
Not fully and work on collaborative approaches whilst maintaining a smaller base
Yes, but keep a certain degree of decentralisation.
@8S3TL2G4yrs4Y
Increase information sharing under an international framework but preserve the UK’s own intelligence agencies too.
@8QDM5HQ4yrs4Y
There should be greater integration, but there should still be a level of separation
@8QC65CB4yrs4Y
No, but the intelligence agencies should collaborate more.
@8P456F64yrs4Y
No, but sanitised access to other nations intelligence and crime recording systems should be permitted through appropriate Information Sharing Protocols.
I don't see the need for any intelligence agencies to exist at all.
@9886L8R2yrs2Y
Countries should have their own agencies but should work together rather than merge
@932JLB93yrs3Y
No, but increase collaboration
In addition to each individual agency
@9CDW74J2yrs2Y
Depends on what the Agenc(ies) are for and if it will be better long term to do so.
@99VBZHY2yrs2Y
No, intelligence agencies should be abolished
@98VH5FH2yrs2Y
No, but all intelligence services should work together to stop threats
@95XX2S93yrs3Y
Each state should maintain an independent state run agency. However there should be an interdependent EU agency aswell.
@955SD9G3yrs3Y
Yes, if all participants prove their intel is gathered legally and ethically with the consent of their citizens.
@93XR2693yrs3Y
Only if there is serious threat. But all intelligence agencies should cooperate well
@93V6RQ3Liberal Democrat3yrs3Y
No, but the EU can create its own intelligence agency that works with those of other governments
@93668LCLiberal Democrat3yrs3Y
No, but establish cooperation between national agencies.
@95ZPR3S3yrs3Y
Each country should have their own agency, but information should be shared with all EU countries in a shared database.
