On 1 December 2025, Europol and the Republic of Argentina signed a Working Arrangement to enhance cooperation in combating cross-border crime.

The arrangement establishes a structured legal framework for collaboration and the exchange of non-personal information between Europol and Argentine law enforcement authorities. It is expected to facilitate joint efforts in areas such as organized crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and environmental crime. The arrangement also allows for the sharing of specialist knowledge, general situation reports, and strategic analysis as well as participation in training activities and the providing of support for individual criminal investigations.

Under the terms of the arrangement, Argentina will designate a national contact point to support cooperation with Europol. Provisions are included for the potential deployment of liaison officers to Europol.
