Law enforcement cooperation, information exchange and interoperability

The EU-STNA 2026–2029 identifies law enforcement cooperation, information exchange and interoperability as the foremost horizontal challenge to address through training. It underpins the effectiveness of all operational cooperation within the Union and remains a precondition for a coherent European law enforcement area. 
Meeting this challenge requires a shared operational culture across agencies and borders, consistent proficiency with existing cooperation mechanisms, and the effective use of large-scale IT systems supporting information exchange. The reinforcement of the EMPACT framework as the backbone of law enforcement cooperation requires continuous training of all EMPACT actors.
