    La transformation d'Europol en agence de l'Union – Regards sur un nouveau cadre juridique
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 525, février ,  2009 ,  83-87
    The year 2008 can be remembered as a remarkable year for Europol. The Council will soon adopt a Decision "establishing the European Police Office (Europol)". This Decision replaces the current Europol legal framework - a Convention with three protocols - and will turn Europol into an Agency of the Union, funded from the general budget of the European Union as of 1 January 2010. This is a milestone in Europol's history. The still ongoing process requires the Council and the Europol Management Board to prepare and adopt in the coming weeeks and months a whole series of implementing measures, covering legislative, budgetary and administrative issues. This is an unprecedented operation representing a massive workload. No other JHA organisation has gone through such a transformation in the past. Furthermore the start of this new and challenging episode in Europol's history should also coincide with Europol's move into its new headquarters in The Hague.
