Security & Justice Partnership

The Transformational Potential: Leverage the transformative impact of EU-LAC cooperation on the rule of law and fight against transnational organised crime by joining forces with EU Member States, Commission DGs, EU Specialised Agencies (EUROPOL, EUROJUST, CEPOL, EMCDDA, FRONTEX), and OLAF.

The Team Europe Proposal responds to EU-Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) shared challenges in security and justice. Security-related interventions are more efficiently addressed at regional/multi-country level and no bilateral security-related TEI has been proposed in the programming process.

1. Strengthening the LAC’s overall rule of law environment:
2. Consolidation of structural regional and inter-continental cooperation networks to fight against Serious and Organised Crime.
3. Priority focus on bi-regional cooperation on the main ‘lines of business’ of LAC organised crime (drug trafficking, environmental crimes, cybercrime, trafficking in human beings, firearms trafficking).
