The European Union (EU) home affairs ministers said on Thursday they agreed to strength information sharing and work out an integrated European information architecture for anti-terrorism purpose after a meeting in Luxembourg.
The ministers' discussion focused on the use and interoperability of databases and the recent commission proposals on the smart borders package.
"It is vital to share our information so we can enable real time analysis and cross-border operations to prevent terrorism, illegal migration and cross-border crime,"Ard Van Der Steur, minister for security and justice of the Netherlands.
The architecture will include interoperability in the justice and home affairs domain, covering migration, counter-terrorism and borders, an official statement issued in Brussels said.
This agreement will include a roadmap with short, medium and long-term actions, which will be presented during the Justice and Home Affairs Council in June.
The ministers also reaffirmed the need to speed up the implementation of the EU-Turkey statement and in particular the resettlement of Syrian refugees from Turkey in the framework of the 1:1 plan.
