Europol Intensifies Cooperation with Chile
In November 2024, Europol and Chile signed two legal instruments that put in practice a Working Arrangement that is in force since May 2021. On the basis of this Working Arrangement, the two parties were able to sign a Liaison Officer Agreement and a Memorandum of Understanding on SIENA. The Memorandum of Understanding allows Chile to establish a SIENA connection with Europol, giving Chilean law enforcement authorities the possibility to connect with law enforcement agencies in more than 70 countries. Under the Liaison Agreement, Chile can second one or more liaison officers to Europol, adding to the current network of over 300 liaison officers from EU Member States, third countries, and international organisations hosted by Europol.
