About the CCPE... |

 Its
background
|
 The
Consultative Council of European Prosecutors (CCPE), a consultative body
to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, was created by
decision of the Ministers’ Deputies on 13 July 2005, with the intention
of institutionalising the yearly Conference of Prosecutors General of
Europe (CPGE).
The CPGE was launched in Strasbourg in order to ensure the follow-up of
the
Recommendation Rec(2000)19 on the role of
public prosecution in the criminal justice system and met every year
until 2006. By institutionalising this forum, the Committee of Ministers as well as its European
Committee on Crime Problems (CDPC), recognises the importance of closely
involving Public Prosecution services of its member States in its work
aimed at developing common policies and legal instruments
related to their functioning and professional activities.
The first meeting of the CCPE took place on 6 July 2006 in Moscow.
