EMPACT ENVICRIME

The European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT) is the EU’s main framework for combating serious and organised crime.

Through EMPACT, European Union (EU) Member States, law enforcement agencies, EU bodies and international partners work together to set priorities, coordinate operations and dismantle criminal networks operating across borders.

The EMPACT ENVISF project offers a comprehensive response at European level to environmental crime, providing direct added value in terms of cross-border cooperation, innovation in investigative methodologies and the long-term sustainability of its results.

This project is in line with the Spanish Government’s External Action Strategy.
