Europol Regulation - Plans for a "European FBI"
The EU Police Agency should be allowed to investigate and search for cross-border crimes. A proposal to this effect from the Commission is expected in December, and the German Council Presidency wants to support the initiative with a conference in Berlin. Civil rights groups warn about a " data washing machine".
Some of these demands will be reflected in the recast of the four year old Europol regulation that will be published by the European Commission on 6th December. The German Interior Ministry plans to organise a conference on the "future of Europol" on 21st and 22nd October in Berlin and the annual meeting of European police chiefs on 1st and 2nd October in The Hague will also look into the new regulation.
The main pillars of the proposal are already known. In a publication for a preliminary impact assessment, the Commission writes that Europol is to be strengthened to "deal with emerging threats". The scope of criminal offences for which Europol is competent will therefore be extended. The agency would then be able to conduct its own searches in the Schengen Information System (SIS II) and use the Prüm framework for Europe-wide searches of biometric data.

Wiretapping: New high-level police working group to formulate "a joint response to the impending massive impacts of 5G"
A new senior police working group will try to advance the police demand to retain wiretapping abilities with 5G technology. However, the technical architecture of 5G makes this extremely difficult, if not impossible. The German Presidency is seeking formal recognition from the Council's Law Enforcement Working Party for this new body, named the 'European Heads of Lawful Interception Units'. As well as EU and Schengen states, the UK will apparently also be involved.
👀 👉🏼 See: NOTE from: Presidency to: Delegations: Lawful Interception - Strengthening EU cooperation (11517/20, LIMITE, 13 October 2020, pdf): https://www.statewatch.org/media/1407/eu-council-wiretapping-lawful-interception-cooperation-11517-20.pdf
The document notes that the "primary aim" of the European Heads of Lawful Interception Units is:
"to facilitate better cooperation and mutual understanding of the needs, challenges and priorities of lawful interception (LI) units within the member states."
The reasons for this new structure are "the impending massive impacts of 5G", which will make traditional methods of telecommunications interception redundant.

Official documents highlight concern over effects 5G technology will have on “lawful interception” (29 May 2019) https://www.statewatch.org/analyses/2019/a-world-without-wiretapping-official-documents-highlight-concern-over-effects-5g-technology-will-have-on-lawful-interception/
