Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1 a (new)

(1 a) Europol’s new legal framework fully respects the principles enshrined in the art. 4.2 of the Treaty on the European Union as well as recognizes that national security remains the sole responsibility of each Member State. Since the objective of this Regulation is to strengthen action by the Member States’ law enforcement services and their mutual cooperation in preventing and combating serious crime and terrorism Europol’s institutional role has to be carefully balance in order to guarantee a necessary level of benefits for the Member States while maintaining and respecting the very essence of their exclusive competence in the area of national security.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12

(12) It is possible for the Union and the Members States to adopt restrictive measures relating to foreign direct investment on the grounds of security or public order. To that end, Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council57 establishes a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union that provides Member States and the Commission with the means to address risks to security or public order in a comprehensive manner. As part of the assessment of expected implications for security or public order, Europol should support the screening of specific cases of foreign direct investments into the Union that concern undertakings providing technologies used or being developed by Europol or by Member States for the prevention and investigation of crimes. _________________ 57Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union (OJ L 79I , 21.3.2019, p. 1–14).deleted

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14

(14) One of Europol’s objectives is to support and strengthen action by the competent authorities of the Member States and their mutual cooperation in preventing and combatting forms of crime which affect a common interest covered by a Union policy. To strengthen that support, Europol should be able to request the competent authorities of a Member State to initiate, conduct or coordinate a criminal investigation of a crime, which affects a common interest covered by a Union policy, even where the crime concerned is not of a cross-border nature. Europol should inform Eurojust of such requests.deleted
