Frequently Asked Questions on Law Enforcement, Judicial Cooperation & Europol Regulations
What is the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO)?
The EPPO is an independent European prosecution office operating across 24 participating Member States, empowered to investigate and prosecute crimes affecting the EU's financial interests (such as EU funds fraud, cross-border VAT fraud >€10m, corruption, and money laundering).
What is the e-Evidence package and how does it enable cross-border access to digital data?
The e-Evidence Regulation (EU) 2023/1543 and accompanying Directive create European Production Orders (EPOs) and European Preservation Orders allowing judicial authorities to request electronic evidence (subscriber data, traffic data, content data) directly from service providers established in other Member States, with 10-day compliance deadlines (8 hours in emergencies). Service providers must designate legal representatives in the EU for receiving orders.
What is Prüm II and how does it upgrade police information exchange?
Regulation (EU) 2024/982 (Prüm II) modernises the Prüm framework for automated cross-border police data exchange by adding facial recognition image searches and police records to the existing DNA profiles, fingerprints, and vehicle registration data. It introduces a central Prüm II router managed by eu-LISA, enables access to Europol data through the framework, and establishes a quality control mechanism for biometric data exchanges.
