On the occasion of the above visit to Luxembourg, the Heads of the Legal Service will also participate on 1 June 2022 in the anniversary session of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO Convention), held to mark one year of the EPPO's operation. The Convention takes place at EPPO's headquarters in Luxembourg. The Convention will be attended by European officials, European and national prosecutors and other guests. It is recalled that the Republic of Cyprus has been a strong supporter of the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor's Office from the outset and participated, on the basis of the voluntary cooperation that can be developed between EU Member States (enhanced cooperation), in the initiative to establish the European Public Prosecutor's Office, which today has 22 EU Member States.
