Twenty European Union countries will be equipped in 2020 with a European prosecutor specialising in the fight against VAT fraud and European subsidies, according to a text adopted today by Eurodeputs.
“Criminals ignore borders and the time has come to stop by equipping prosecutors with the means they are missing to react transbound”, European commissionors in charge of Justice and Budget, Vera Jourova and Gunther Oettinger underlined.
This project will have competencies in only 20 member states, which have agreed to participate in a reinforced co-operation.
The countries that will participate since the start of the European prosecution are France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Finland, Slovenia and three Baltic states.
Concretically, the European prosecution will be equipped with a central office in Luxembourg, where European prosecutors will be gathered and on a decentralised level with European prosecutors delegated to member states.
