EUCOJUST has been awarded a grant by the European Commission (JLS/ISEC) to implement a project against counterfeit medicines.

 

Counterfeit medicines are a growing threat for the security of the European Citizen because of its threat on public health and because of the growing involvement of criminal networks. The project will identify good law enforcement practices against counterfeit medicines in Europe. A conference will be organised and support will be provided to all regulatory authorities in Europe. The project has been presented by EUCOJUST in partnership with the French National Judicial Customs (SNDJ), the German Criminal Customs (ZKA) and the UK Regulatory Agency for Medicines (MHRA). More information will soon be available on www.medicrime.eu

 

 

Eucojust is an international association of senior experts with practical experience against organised crime. The aim of Eucojust is to improve the effectiveness of international assistance programmes against organised crime.

Organized crime usually flourishes when legitimate government and civil society are weak or entrusted. Developing countries are particularly vulnerable as they sometimes lack strong and established institutions and the rule of law.

 

The experts of Eucojust provide advisory services to the EC, international institutions and governments for the formulation, evaluation and implementation of international assistance programmes against organised crime benefitting to developing countries

Eucojust was created in 2004 under Belgian Law and has the status of a “not-for-profit international association (AISBL)”.
