SoU-2018: Reinforced EPPO to fight cross-border terrorism

Strasbourg, Sep 12 (UNI) The European Commission (EC) has proposed that a reinforced European Public Prosecutor's Office will fight the cross-border terrorism.
On the occasion of his State of the Union Address, EC president, Jean-Claude Juncker, said: "Europeans rightly expect their Union to keep them safe. This is why the Commission is today proposing to extend the tasks of the newly established European Public Prosecutor's Office to include the fight against terrorist offences. We need to be able to prosecute terrorists in a more coordinated way, across our Union. Terrorists know no borders. We should not become unwitting accomplices because of our inability to cooperate.”
Following up on the idea first presented by President Juncker in his State of the Union Address last year, on Wednesday the European Commission is proposing to strengthen the European Public Prosecutor's Office by giving it the power to fight cross-border terrorism.
