Europol’s Position in the Security Architecture

Journal Title: Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej - Year 2014, Vol 2014, Issue 94

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of Europol’s position in the security architecture. Generally, Europol’s competence covers combating organized crime, terrorism and selected forms of serious crime. The competency – with certain restrictions – is defined by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and it is an essential criterion for its location in the security system. From operational point of view Europol’s activities are based primarily on criminal intelligence processes. The information and intelligence is collected, processed and exchanged in order to support the development of international cooperation in the fight against cross-border threats. The issue concerning Europol’s position in the security architecture is extremely complex because of its specific legal status, scope of operations and the supervision and control of Europol’s activities.
