Romania's Prosecutor General Augustin Lazar on Thursday said that the European Prosecutor's Office is a priority of the moment.
He stated that the Public Ministry was involved in the operationalization of the European Public Prosecutor's Office both through the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), which has the competence to prosecute the offenses, as well as through the human resources support made available by the Prosecution Office attached to the High Court of Cassation and Justice for coordinating and drawing up a study analyzing this issue.
"Personally, I am a supporter of the European Prosecutor's Office since the emergence of the idea in the corpus iuris, so I am convinced at the first evaluation of this new EU body in 2022 the results obtained will be important, then we should move on to the extension of the competences of the European Prosecutor's Office to the other types of offenses referred to in Article 86 (4) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, serious cross-border crimes and those affecting several Member States," Lazar added.
