In December, the Ministry of National Security of the Argentine Republic and the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) signed a Working Arrangement in order to support the Member States of the European Union and Argentina in preventing and combating serious and organised crime and terrorism.
The Working Arrangement provides for a structured legal framework for cooperation and enhanced exchange of information (non-personal data) between Europol and the relevant Argentinian law enforcement authorities. It will enable both partners to closely work together on key areas such as organised crime, drug trafficking, trafficking in human beings, cybercrime and environmental crime.
The Arrangement also covers the possibility of sharing specialist knowledge, general situation reports, results of strategic analysis, the participation in training activities, as well as providing advice and support in individual criminal investigations.
Based on this Working Arrangement, Argentina will designate a national contact point to facilitate cooperation between Europol and the relevant Argentinian law enforcement authorities. The Arrangement also provides grounds for the deployment of liaison officers to Europol to join its unique community of liaison bureaux of law enforcement authorities from more than 50 countries.
