Recital 35

(35) To ensure the effective investigation and prosecution of violations of Union restrictive measures, Member States’ competent authorities should cooperate with each other through and with Europol, Eurojust and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, within their respective competences and in accordance with the applicable legal framework. Member States’ competent authorities should also share information among each other and with the Commission on practical issues. The Commission, where necessary, could establish a network of experts and practitioners to share best practices and provide assistance to Member States’ competent authorities in order to facilitate the investigation of offences related to the violation of Union restrictive measures. Such assistance should not entail the participation of the Commission in the investigation and prosecution of individual criminal cases conducted by Member States’ competent authorities and should not be understood as including financial support or any other budgetary commitment by the Commission.
