Artikel: Cooperation between the European Commission and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office

The European Commission and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) have a joint interest in effectively fighting, and mitigating the effects of, crimes against the EU’s financial interests. In 2021, they concluded an agreement to translate this mutual interest into concrete cooperation measures.

This article sets off the Commission’s initial negotiation objectives against the results and future outlook of their mutual cooperation.
