Europol reform – but who polices the police?

Feature published by EurActiv in November 2015 regarding confidential plans to reform the European Police Authority, Europol.

Luxembourg's presidency of the Council of the European Union reportedly sent a message in September to the European Parliament, the European Commission and national governments regarding a meeting with Europol representatives. The presidency highlighted the wish that Europol should be given more rights to monitor the internet, through its so-called European Union Internet Referral Unit (EU IRU).
