1) information fac<strong>il</strong>itator<br />
• To fac<strong>il</strong>itate the exchange of information, Europol uses the tool “Info-Ex”, the<br />
application for the secure exchange of o<strong>per</strong>ational information.<br />
• The Liaison Bureaux network at Europol consists of one bureau for each of the<br />
27 eu member states as well as bureaux representing countries and international<br />
organisations with which europol has signed coo<strong>per</strong>ation agreements.<br />
2) crime analysis<br />
• In the field of strategic crime analysis, Europol provides strategic analysis which is<br />
used for strategic and policy p<strong>la</strong>nning. europol produces crime situation reports<br />
(e.g. the eu terrorism situation and trend report or te-sat) and threat assessments<br />
regarding organised crime (the organised Crime threat assessment or oCta).<br />

europol information system (is) provides capab<strong>il</strong>ities for storing, searching, visualising<br />
and analysing information re<strong>la</strong>ted to trans-national crimes. it allows the <strong>la</strong>w enforcement<br />
agencies across europe to col<strong>la</strong>borate efficiently in their investigations. the system<br />
supports automatic detection of possible hits between different investigations and<br />
fac<strong>il</strong>itates the sharing of sensitive information in a secure and reliable way. the analysis<br />
Workf<strong>il</strong>e (aWF) is the means by which europol provides support through intelligence<br />
analysis to investigations carried out by the european union Member states.<br />

states.<br />
