In the Explanatory Memorandum of 23 April 2012 relating to the proposals for a Europol European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), the Government broadly supported the proposals. We set out a number of concerns relating to the detail of the centre, which we were successful in negotiating on with the Commission. Since then we have been working to ensure that the Commission and the Cybercrime Centre Project Board respect these conclusions as they develop the implementation plans for the centre.

Europol has produced a blueprint, setting out how the EC3 will operate, and what it will do to support work to tackle cybercrime across the EU. We are currently considering our response to Europol.
