EU: Plans to open a cyber crime centre: The director of Europol Rob Wainwright on 15 December briefed House of Lords EU sub-committee F - Home Affairs on plans for a European cyber crime centre. According to Mr Wainwright, Europol already had a "dedicated intelligence project designed to identify the most significant cyber criminals operating in Europe". He stressed the need for establishing a European cyber crime centre managing an internet crime reporting online system to collect all internet crime reported online at a national level, in a harmonised way. EU cyber crime centre is planned to be launched by 2014 if funding by the European Commission can be secured.
