Effective police cooperation is a key step in turning the EU into an area of freedom, security
and justice (AFSJ) based on respect for fundamental rights. Cross-border law enforcement
cooperation – involving the police, customs and other law enforcement services – is
designed to prevent, detect and investigate criminal offences across the EU. In practice, this
cooperation mainly concerns serious crime (organised crime, drug trafficking, trafficking in
human beings and cybercrime) and terrorism.
Considerable progress in strengthening police cooperation was made during the 2014-2019
legislative term. Most importantly, the new Europol Regulation took effect in May 2017.
In Parliament, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE Committee)
is responsible for measures relating to police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters,
including terrorism, and substantive and procedural measures relating to the development
of a more coherent EU approach to criminal law, in accordance with Parliament’s Rules of
Procedure.
