Cooperation between UK law enforcement and Europol’s European Migrant Smuggling Centre on organised immigration crime is well-established and routine. This cooperation has and continues to assist UK efforts to tackle organised immigration crime impacting on the UK through enhanced intelligence exchange.

However, the specific data requested is not held centrally and can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
