& 12/09/2002 Significant Events International Criminal Activities in general are increasingly facilitated by communications technology surpassing that currently available to Law Enforcement. A Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between the US and the EU in the field of telecommunications equipment exists. The EU-Treaty of Amsterdam raised the EU Police cooperation to Union level, further facilitating international cooperation.

& 12/09/2002 UK Perspective A new national radio communications system for the Fire Service in England and Wales. The system will enhance the capability of the Fire Service to meet the new radio interoperability requirement agreed by the primary emergency services. Communications between the emergency services will be equal to the demands placed upon them.
