Creating a European area without borders and free movement gave rise to new forms of expression of cross border crime, but also new opportunities for criminals to evade justice. Cross-border crime concerns at present international drug traffic areas such as risk and high risk, terrorism, human trafficking, counterfeiting of means of electronic payment and cybercrime, tax evasion and money laundering, corruption offenses.
Although adopted a series of measures and ways to combat this phenomenon have diversified and adapted to new ways of committing these crimes, some very sophisticated, crime has grown. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen existing institutions - Europol, Eurojust, OLAF, and the creation of new sound institutions - the European Public Prosecutor - able to prevent and combat crime, especially on the borders.
