Europol

The Council agreed to the Rules of Procedure of the Europol Management Board, with the proviso that it was to be adopted by the Board at its first meeting. The Rules of Procedure determine, among other things, the composition of the Management Board, its administrative support, the Chairman’s duties, its functions and its voting procedures. This is the first of seven sets of such Rules that have to be adopted in order for the Europol Convention to become fully operational after ratification by the Member States.
