(4)The Union has already adopted common rules that overlap to a large extent with certain elements being considered for the content of the additional protocol. Those common rules include in particular Regulation (EU) 2018/1805 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote and Directive (EU) 2024/1260 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, which replaced Directive 2014/42/EU of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. Moreover, Council Framework Decisions 2003/577/JHAnote and 2006/783/JHAnote remain applicable in the relations between certain Member States. Those common rules of Union law might be affected or altered in scope by specific aspects of the additional protocol, within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
