"MAKING EUROPE SAFER: Europol at the Heart of European Security" co-organised by the Academy of European Law (ERA) and Europol
The Hague, 18-19 June 2012
Target audience: law enforcement officers, ministry officials, legal practitioners, as well as representatives of academia and NGOs
This conference at Europol’s new headquarters will mark the tenth anniversary of the ERA organisation and bring together its members, law enforcement agents, civil society representatives, ministry officials and legal practitioners to debate the role of Europol in the coming years. Two major developments in recent years have confirmed the place of Europol as a major EU actor.
First, Council Decision 2009/371/JHA, which entered into force on 1 January 2010, finally established Europol as a European agency and broadened and strengthened its competences. Secondly, on 1 July 2011, Europol inaugurated its new headquarters in a building specifically designed for it.
From dealing almost exclusively with drug-related matters at its origins, Europol now has an ever expanding set of priority areas.
