Abstract. This contribution is dedicated to the current problematics of strengthening a mandate of the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation which is better known under the abbreviation Europol. Currently, the proposal of strengthening a mandate of the Europol is legislative processing, whereas there is a wide range of unanswered questions regarding the final framework of such conceptual modification. The stronger police cooperation in the EU is built on the idea of accessibility and quantity of relevant informations which we denote as the informational capital. The informations can be considered as a moving force of active law enforcement in the EU and therefore as the cornerstones of police and judicial cooperation as well. The contribution is devided into three main sections, including introduction and conclusion. The first part brings a basic characteristics of Europol from the perspective of police cooperation in the EU. The second section deals with the conception of the security union from the perspective of strengthening a mandate of Europol outlined by the European Commission within the EU Security Union Strategy. The third section is oriented on the question of establishment a cooperation between the Europol and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office from the point of view of cooperational pitfalls and challenges.
