Description
Summary:Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) has risen up on international institutions' agenda. The international community's mobilization against organized crime has led to an impressive elaboration of institutional responses to what has been depicted as a global challenge. The EU JHA agenda has not been an exception, which has constantly addressed this issue since the middle of the 1990s. In order to understand the current state of the EU strategy against organized crime, this article examines the existing EU legislative framework, as well as the European justice & police co-operation mechanisms (specifically the role & mandate of Europol & Eurojust).
