National borders are a major obstacle in the fight against organised crime. Every country has its own rules, legislation, and languages, and there are great differences in administrative powers and responsibilities. Another important factor is the awareness of organised crime and, more specifically, the administration's role in the fight against it. Criminals intentionally use this to explore the boundaries. EURIEC aims to boost the cross-border administrative collaboration against organised crime between Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. We achieve this by building networks and discussion platforms, raising awareness about the administrative approach against cross-border organised crime, and offering support in case studies. We closely collaborate with the Belgian ARIECs, our German Partners, and the Dutch RIECs. This enables experts from participating countries to connect faster and leads to improved general awareness about the administrative approach against organised crime. Our information products include: - A professional jargon list, in four languages - Guides on consulting Belgian, Dutch, and German public sources - Manuals for international information requests - Sample letters for international information requests - The EURIEC Final Report, our full assessment of opportunities and obstacles to cross-border information exchange Visit www.euriec.eu for more information and to download our information resources.
