Concentrating on precise problems to better define the
Council of Europe’s strategy and action plan on TOC
seems necessary to foster efficiency and minimise risks
of overlapping. The five areas selected (enhancing
international co-operation; special investigative
techniques; witness protection and incentives for cooperation;
administrative synergies and co-operation
with the private sector; recovery of assets) have been
identified as crucial for the effective investigation and
prosecution of TOC.
