Investing.com -- The European Commission announced on Tuesday its proposal to broaden the role of Europol, the EU’s law enforcement cooperation agency, as part of a strategy to enhance the bloc’s internal security. This move comes in response to the increasing geopolitical challenges, hybrid threats, and digital crime Europe is facing.

The Commission’s new strategy aims to combat organized crime more effectively, improve policing, and strengthen the fight against terrorism. One of the key elements of this strategy is to provide more resources for law enforcement and invest in the development of stronger EU agencies.

European Commission Executive Vice President in charge of security, Henna Virkkunen, stated that the plan is to transform Europol into a truly operational police agency. This expansion is expected to improve law enforcement’s access to data, a crucial factor in the fight against crime in a digital age.
