Ministers endorse creation of European Cybercrime Centre at Europol

The Council adopted conclusions on the establishment of a European Cybercrime Centre (10603/12), in response to the Commission's communication "Tackling Crime in our Digital Age: Establishing a European Cybercrime Centre" (8543/12).

The Council endorsed the setting up of such a centre, which will be the focal point in the fight against cybercrime in the Union, contributing to faster reactions in the event of cyber attacks. It will support member states and European Union’s institutions in building operational and analytical capacity for investigations and cooperation with international partners. The European Cybercrime Centre will be part of the existing Europol structure to facilitate cross working with other crime areas.
