Potential Contribution of a European Public Prosecutor

The establishment of a European Public Prosecutor (eppo) is a controversial and politically sensitive issue. Despite the presentation of a Regulation Proposal on the eppo 17 July 2013 there are still many eu Member States, scholars and citizens that continue questioning the very existence of a supranational prosecuting authority. The aim of this article is to analyse whether the 2013 proposal of the eu Commission for a Regulation on the eppo may contribute to overcoming the present problems detected in the fight against crimes detrimental to the financial interests of the eu.
