The LIBE committee is organising an exchange of views on 23rd June 2025, h16.00-17.30, with representatives of the European Public Prosecutors’ Office, Europol and Eurojust, as well as of the European Commission. This exchange aims to assess, particularly from the perspective of the agencies, the challenges of cooperation and to explore ways to improve collaboration in the future, including in the context of a possible review of the legislative framework that governs their operations.
The cooperation between law-enforcement and prosecution is increasing to match the scale and complexity of cross-border criminality. Furthermore, newly established bodies – such as AMLA or the EU Customs Authority – will carry out tasks relevant for the detection and investigation of such crimes and collect a wealth of data relevant for agencies such as EPPO, Europol and Eurojust. This exchange takes place against the backdrop of the review cycle of the of the founding regulations of those agencies. These evaluations should also provide an opportunity to address some of the relevant aspects of inter-agency cooperation and data exchange. Guest-speakers in this exchange will be:
- Andres RITTER, Deputy European Chief Prosecutor, EPPO
- Federica CURTOL, Head of Operations Department, Eurojust
- Burkhard MÜHL, Head of Economic and Financial Crime Centre, Europol
- Nils BEHRNDT, Deputy Director General DG JUST, European Commission
- Olivier ONIDI, Deputy Director General DG HOME, European Commission
