Últimos avances en la cooperación judicial penal: la cooperación reforzada permite la creación de la Fiscalía Europea a partir del Reglamento (UE) 2017/1939

Abstract

The European Public Prosecutor's Office does not start from scratch, but from a number of efforts of the EU institutions which have paid off with the adoption of Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 of 12 October 2017. This Regulation facilitates enhanced cooperation between Member States on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, whose aims are to achieve a more effective fight combating the perpetrators or suspects of crimes against the Community's financial interests. However, the implementation of this Office will require some legislative developments in Member States such as Spain, where the Public Prosecutor has not been assigned the same powers the Regulation entrusts it with.
