Two years after the adoption of the the Regulation establishing the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and in the wake of the inauguration of this new body of the European Union, it seems to be the opportunity to reflect on the measures taken for its implementation and on the challenges of this unprecedented legal creation.

  • The benefits of enhanced cooperation

• The originality of this new body

  • Leading a unified criminal policy in the effort to fight fraud against the financial interests of the European Union
  • Recognition of enforcement powers, first EU operational power in the penal field
  • The degree of independence of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office

• The necessary interactions

  • With national authorities
  • With other EU actors (Eurojust, Europol, OLAF)
  • With the member states of the EU that do not participate in the European Public Prosecutor’s Office
  • With Third Countries

• Control on the European Public Prosecutor

  • Judicial review

• The challenges concerning fundamental rights

  • Respect of rights of defense
  • Respect of the protection of personal data
