Should intelligence agencies be merged to create a central EU agency?

No, but intelligence agencies should closely work together when solving international crimes

We should have a central EU intelligence agency but not necessarily made up from all the individual countries' intelligence agency.

A joint taskforce could be useful, but not to merge altogether

It should be dual. A national system that can work in conjucntion with a european system when required

Yes, but only for countries which haven't had significant intelligence leaked to non-EU countries (e.g. Russia)

yes when dealing with external affairs

Yes, but each country should still have their own specific agencies

Ireland should set up its own Agency

intelligence agencies should be abolished

No, but cooperation should be enouraged

our own and a EU AGENCY

Not Merged, but better Intergated

Yes there should be a main one but every country should have its own small one too

No but there should be some form if cooperation

Cooperate and a central agency but not merge or replace national

No, co operate with other intelligence agencies on a case by case basis.

No, but cooperation between EU countries, and worldwide, with Europol/Interpol should increase

We would review that policy we do have over our intelligence agencies it may will need to be updated

Yes, but not fully merged and as an umbrella/bridge.

I would keep individual agencies but improve cooperation between them

Yes, it will make the EU more unified and efficient.

No. Interpol already exists. The EU can set certain standards that individual states must adhere to, and do audits to ensure these standards are being met, but for an individual nations national security, they should withhold their information from other states unless agreements between individual states exist.

In theory yes but right now its not an because the rule of Law in countries outside EU

No, however intelligence should be shared so long as it has been legally obtained and is subject to legal oversight

No, complete centralization would put the EU as a whole at greater risk of infiltration, sabotage, etc, especially by Israel.

intelligence agencies should be merged to create a central EU agency not before they agree to give up their Independent status

No, but I do believe in a oversight body and a higher level of cooperation

No not merged, states need separate intelligence agencies, but these intelligence services must be able to connect to protect the EU, especially since there is the freedom of travel and as terrorists can move between borders

No but there should be greater co-operation between intelligence agencies.

There should be a central EU one for training and cooperation, however, individual nation states should be able to retain their own.

That should be reviewed & debated

that needs to be debated & looked at
