CEPOL ED and Romanian Police's delegates discuss the priorities of Bucharest’s upcoming Presidency

Today a delegation from the Romanian Police visited CEPOL's HQ in Budapest. During the visit, Mr. Victor-Wili Apreutesei, First Deputy of the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police, and Mr. Andrei Linta, Director of the International Police Cooperation Centre - General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police, had the chance to discuss with CEPOL’s Executive Director, Mr. Detlef Schröder, about the programme and priorities of the upcoming Romanian Presidency of the Council of the EU. The Presidency will be held by Romania next year for the first time from 1st January to 30th June 2019.

The encounter was the follow up of a previous visit of the CEPOL Executive Director to Romania, which took place from the 5th to the 6th of July.

The discussion mainly focused on the effects of digitalisation on law enforcement and community policing, while future perspectives of CEPOL’s role in supporting the initiatives of the Romanian Presidency in this sector were also explored.

Mr. Schröder expressed the Agency’s commitment to back the activities of the incoming Presidency, while the delegates reiterated their appreciation and support to CEPOL's mandate to provide high-quality training for law enforcement officers.
