Abstract
Twenty-five years after the idea of establishing a European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) was mooted, the office became operational in June 2021. It was intended to provide for a paradigm shift in the prosecution of serious fraud against the EU budget. Although it is a supranational law enforcement agency, it basically investigates under the respective national legal systems in which it has to take measures. This means that EPPO is naturally confronted with all the (well-known) challenges associated with cross-border investigative work. How does it meet these challenges? Does the Regulation, which is the legal basis for EPPO's activities, offer better solutions than those found under existing instruments of intergovernmental cooperation?
