3. Cooperation between Europol and EU COM – DG Health
Possible benefits:
• Should good cases/useful information be detected, Europol could receive the relevant data via Siena (DG Home).
• Possible to process and store the data in the Europol Analysis System.
• Immediate results: filling of intelligence gaps, efficient liaising between administrative and judicial authorities = enhanced protection of public health.
