The EU Commission selects twenty experts from scientific and research organisations and legal practitioners every three years to ensure a high level of expertise and, as far as possible, an adequate balance in terms of a range of competencies, geographical origin, and gender, taking into account the specific tasks of the Group and the type of expertise required.

We are happy to inform you that our Head of Corporate Crime Investigations and Compliance, Dr. iur Violeta Zeppa-Priedīte has been appointed as one of the members of the Expert Group on EU Criminal Policy in a personal capacity for a mandate of three years.

Being part of this expert group means being able to express, within a high-level professional framework, opinions and recommendations on issues of relevance for the European Commission at the level of the European Union in the field of criminal justice.
