On 29 February 2024, the European Commission confirmed Poland's participation in the enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the EPPO (COM Decision (EU) 2024/807). The Decision entered into force twenty days after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU. Poland notified the Commission of its intention to participate in the enhanced cooperation scheme on 5 January 2024. The appointment of the European Prosecutor for Poland is currently pending for the EPPO to become operational in Poland. Up to 24 European Delegated Prosecutors will serve the EPPO on a decentralised level in Poland (in three or four EPPO offices, including one in Warsaw). The EPPO will investigate crimes affecting the financial interests of the Union committed in Poland after 1 June 2021. Poland is the 23rd of the 27 EU Member States that participates at the EPPO. Sweden also expressed its intention to join.
