Strengthening the Future of the European Public Prosecutor's Office

In June 2021, the newly established European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) began carrying out its duties of investigating and prosecuting crimes against the financial interests of the European Union. Based on initial practical experience and theoretical reflections on the EPPO's functioning, several areas for improvement in its legal framework-particularly Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 (EPPO Regulation)-have emerged. This volume brings together contributions from practitioners, regulators, and academics analysing EPPO's construction, and is aimed at strengthening its role in the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice.With contributions byGaronne Bezjak | Dominik Brodowski | Marius Bulancea | Michele Caianiello | Gabriella Di Paolo | Hans-Holger Herrnfeld | Luis Jakobi | Laura Kövesi | Katalin Ligeti | Isadora Neroni Rezende | Anneke Petzsche | Luca Pressacco | Lorenzo Salazar | Sebastian Trautmann | Andrea Venegoni | Petra Vítková | Liane Wörner
