On 2 February 2022, the EPPO signed a working agreement with the Spanish General Council of the Judiciary. The arrangement will enable the EPPO to use the so-called “Judicial Neutral Point” – a service network with applications and databases of the General Council. The arrangement also details the cooperation in the fight against crimes that affect the EU’s financial interests. The EPPO made several commitments to use the network correctly and confidentially.

The working arrangement is valid for four years, renewable, and will be reviewed at least once a year by a Mixed Monitoring Commission.
