WHAT DOES EUROPOL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Europol

Europol

Europol (short for European Police Office) is the European Union's law enforcement agency that handles criminal intelligence. It became fully operational on 1 July 1999. The establishment of Europol was agreed to in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, officially known as the Treaty on European Union (TEU) that came into effect in November 1993. The agency started limited operations on 3 January 1994, as the Europol Drugs Unit (EDU). In 1998 the Europol Convention was ratified by all the member states and came into force in October. Europol commenced its full activities on 1 July 1999. Europol allocates its resources (800 staff, of these, approximately 145 Europol Liaison Officers (ELOs)) from its headquarters in The Hague. The size of Europol belies the fact that they are in constant liaison with hundreds of different law enforcement organisations, each with their own individual or group seconded to assist Europol's activities. As of 2013, Europol covers all 28 member states of the European Union. In order to fight international organised crime effectively, Europol cooperates with third countries and organisations.
