From EUROPOL towards a European FBI: boosting the Union's law enforcement capacities
From EUROPOL towards a European FBI: boosting the Union's law enforcement capacities
15 October 2020Online Webinar
In recent years, the Member States’ law enforcement authorities have increasingly made use of the support and expertise that EUROPOL (the EU Agency for law enforcement cooperation) offers to fight serious crime and terrorism across borders. The operational importance of some of the Agency’s tasks has changed substantially, also in response to emerging security threats. The European Commission is expected to present at the end of this year a legislative proposal on strengthening EUROPOL’s mandate. Against this backdrop, our webinar will gather diverse stakeholders and high-level experts to feed into the reflexions about boosting the agency's capabilities to react to new and evolving threats.
Q:Thank you for sharing this information.
In light of the EDPS's recent investigation which found that Europol is storing personal data on individuals for whom it is not allowed to do so and that goes beyond its restrictive list provided in the Regulation, how do you justify the need for Europol to get access to and to further process even more personal data held by private companies?
Regarding Europol's mandate recast, how will the Commission evaluate the mandate of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group, esp. whether that group can really carry out its important tasks? (to Tom Snels)
