   EUROPEAN COMMISSION  Brussels, 23.4.2025  COM(2025) 174 final 2025/0095 (NLE)  Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION amending Decision (EU) 2023/133 appointing the members of the selection panel provided for in Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

Reasons for and objectives of the proposal 

(EU)  2017/1939 

implementing  enhanced  cooperation  on 

the 
Council  Regulation 
establishment  of  the  European  Public  Prosecutor’s  Office  (‘EPPO’)  was  adopted  on  12 
October  2017  and  entered  into  force  on  20  November  20171. The  EPPO  assumed  the 
investigative and prosecutorial tasks conferred on it by such Regulation on 1 June 2021. The 
EPPO is responsible for investigating, prosecuting and bringing to judgment the perpetrators 
of, and accomplices to,  criminal offences affecting the Union’s financial interests which are 
provided for in Directive (EU) 2017/13712, as implemented into national law, and determined 
by Regulation (EU) 2017/1939. 

In  accordance  with  Article  8  of  Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939,  the  EPPO  is  organised  at  a 
central  and  at  a  decentralised  level.  The  European  Chief  Prosecutor  and  the  European 
Prosecutors  –  one  per  Member  State  participating  in  the  enhanced  cooperation  on  the 
establishment of the EPPO – are part of the central level of the EPPO and form the College of 
the EPPO. The European Parliament and the Council appointed by common accord the first 
European  Chief  Prosecutor  in  October  20193. The  Council  appointed  the  first  22  European 
Prosecutors of the EPPO in July 20204.  

The mandate of the European Chief Prosecutor is of seven years and is not renewable (Article 
14(1)  of  Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939).  The  mandate  of  the  European  Prosecutors  is  of  six 
years and the Council may decide to extend it for a maximum of three years (Article 16(3) of 
Regulation (EU) 2017/1939). Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 provides that every 
three  years  there  should  be  a  partial  replacement  of  one  third  of  the  European  Prosecutors. 
The  mandate  of  the  current  European  Chief  Prosecutor  and  of  seven  European  Prosecutors 
will  expire  in  October  and  July  2026  respectively,  and  the  selection  procedures  to  replace 
them have now started. 

Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 provides that the selection of the European Chief 
Prosecutor  should  be  based  on  an  open  call  for  candidates,  to  be  published  in  the  Official 
Journal of the European Union, following which a selection panel should draw up a shortlist 
of qualified candidates to be submitted to the European Parliament and to the Council. Article 
16(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 provides that the Council should select and appoint one 
of the candidates nominated by the Member States for the post of European Prosecutors after 
having received the reasoned opinion of the selection panel referred to in Article 14(3) of the 
same Regulation. 

In accordance with the latter provision, the selection panel should comprise 12 persons, to be 
appointed  by  the  Council  on  a  proposal  from  the  Commission,  chosen  from  among  former 
members  of  the  Court  of  Justice  and  the  Court  of  Auditors,  former  national  members  of

Eurojust,  members  of  national  supreme  courts,  high  level  prosecutors  and  lawyers  of 
recognised  competence.  One  of  the  persons  chosen  should  be  proposed  by  the  European 
Parliament. 

The  12  members  of  the  first  selection  panel  were  appointed  by  the  Council,  on  a  proposal 
from the Commission, in October 20185, while the 12 members of the current selection panel 
were  appointed  in  January  2023  for  a  period  of  four  years  from  20  January  20236.  One 
member  of  the  selection  panel  was  replaced  in  June  20247.  Ms  Tuire  Tamminiemi,  State 
Prosecutor at the Office of the Prosecutor General of Finland, was one of the members of the 
selection panel appointed in January 2023. On 7 March 2025, Ms Tamminiemi resigned from 
the selection panel. The Council was informed accordingly. 

To  ensure  the  continuity  of  the  selection  panel,  Ms  Tamminiemi  should  be  replaced. In 
accordance  with  the  operating  rules  of  the  selection  panel8, her  replacement  should  be 
appointed  for  the  remainder  of  Mr  Tamminiemi’s  term  of  office  (i.e.,  until  20  January 
2027). With the present proposal, the Commission therefore proposes the Council to appoint 
Ms Johanna  Hervonen,  Chief  Prosecutor  of  the  prosecution  district  of  Southern  Finland, as 
member  of  the  selection  panel  in  replacement  of  Ms  Tamminiemi.  Ms  Hervonen meets  the 
requirements  set  out  in  Article  14(3)  of  Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939.  In  proposing 
her appointment,  the  Commission  took  into  account  the  need  to  ensure  balance  in  terms  of 
geographical  distribution,  gender,  and  knowledge  of  legal  systems  of  the  Member  States 
participating in the EPPO. 

• 

Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area 

The EPPO was established by means of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939, which was adopted on 
the basis of Article 86 TFEU. The EPPO has been exercising the functions attributed to it by 
Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939  since  1  June  2021.  By  submitting  this  proposal  for  a  Council 
Decision  on  the  replacement  of  one  of  the  current  members  of  the  selection  panel,  the 
Commission  is  complying  with  its  obligation  under  Article  14(3)  of  Regulation  (EU) 
2017/1939. This proposal allows for the replacement of one member of the current selection 
panel,  whose  mandate  is  due  to  expire  on  20  January  2027.  The  full  functioning  of  the 
selection panel is important to allow for the orderly finalisation of the procedures to select and 
appoint the new European Chief Prosecutor and seven new European Prosecutors in 2026.

Consistency with other Union policies 

This proposal is consistent with other Union policies aimed at strengthening the protection of 
the Union’s financial interests.

• 

Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence) 

The  appointment  of  members  of  the  selection  panel  provided  for  in  Article  14(3)  of 
Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939  can  only  be  decided  by  the  Council,  on  the  basis  of  a 
Commission proposal, and is thus an exclusive competence by nature, which is not subject to 
the principle of subsidiarity. 

• 

Proportionality 

This proposal is limited to what is necessary in order to attain the proposed objectives and is 
therefore compliant with the principle of proportionality. This proposal is essential in ensuring 
that the European Chief Prosecutor and the European Prosecutors can be replaced at the end 
of their mandate, thus ensuring full deployment and continuity of the operational activities of 
the EPPO. 

• 

Choice of the instrument 

Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 provides that the Council is to adopt a decision 
appointing the members of the selection panel on a proposal from the Commission. Rule II of 
the  operating  rules  of  the  selection  panel  further  provides  that  a  person  who  is  to  replace  a 
member  of  the  selection  panel  should  be  appointed  for  the  remainder  of  the  predecessor’s 
term  of  office  following  the  same  procedure.  The  choice  of  the  proposed  instrument  is 
therefore required by the existing legislation on the matter.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL DECISION 

amending Decision (EU) 2023/133 appointing the members of the selection panel 
provided for in Article 14(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 

Having  regard  to  Council  Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939  of  12  October  2017  implementing 
enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the European  Public Prosecutor’s Office (‘the 
EPPO1, and in particular Article 14(3) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, 

Whereas:

(4) 

The  European  Chief  Prosecutor  is  appointed  by  common  accord  of  the  European 
Parliament and the Council  from  among  a shortlist  of qualified candidates drawn up 
by  the  selection  panel  provided  for  in  Article  14(3)  of  Regulation  (EU)  2017/1939. 
The  European  Prosecutors  are  appointed  by  the  Council  from  among three  qualified 
candidates nominated by each Member State after having received a reasoned opinion 
from that selection panel. 

The current members of the selection panel were appointed for a period of four years 
from 20 January 2023, by means of Council Decision (EU) 2023/1332. One member of 
the selection panel was replaced in June 20243.  

in  January  2023,  Ms 
On  7  March  2025,  one  of  the  members  appointed 
Tuire TAMMINIEMI,  resigned  from  the  selection  panel.  The  Council  was  informed 
accordingly.  

A  new  member  of  the  selection  panel  should  be  appointed  as  soon  as  possible  to 
replace Ms TAMMINIEMI, in order to ensure the continuity of the selection panel’s 
activities.  Ms  Johanna  HERVONEN, Chief  Prosecutor  of  the  prosecution  district  of 
Southern  Finland,  should  therefore  be  appointed  as  a  new  member  of  the  selection 
panel.  In  proposing  this  person,  the  Commission  took  into  account  the  need  for 
geographical  balance,  gender  balance  and  due  representation  of  the  legal  systems  of 
the Member States participating in the enhanced cooperation on the establishment of 
the EPPO. 

(5) 

In accordance with Rule II of the operating rules of the selection panel set out in the 
Annex to Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/16964, Ms HERVONEN should 
be appointed for the remainder of her predecessor’s term of office.
