Artikel: The Independence of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office

An efficient and impartial European public prosecution service cannot exist without effective external independence of the EU institutions and the Member States. Likewise, the internal autonomy of its members is of utmost importance. The idea of independence has been underscored from the project’s inception in the late 1990s to Regulation 2017/2019 (hereinafter, the Regulation), which ultimately established the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). In fact, independence is one of the EPPO’s main, if not its most important feature. It is an essential guarantee against abuse of power, which is not only in the prosecutors’ own interests but also in the interest of society itself and in the interest of the rule of law.
