The mechanism for the organisation, coordination and management of activities in the context of the European Multidisciplinary Platform against Criminal Threats (EMPACT) was established on July 22nd 2022, by Order 349/2022 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Thus, the National Focal Point on cross-border organised crime investigations and the National Focal Point on weapons and ammunition were nominally designated.
EMPACT is an ad hoc management environment to develop activities in order to achieve pre-set goals. It is a structured multidisciplinary co-operation platform of the relevant Member States, EU institutions and agencies, as well as third countries, international organisations and other (public and private) partners to address the prioritised threats of organised and serious international crime.
The relationship between EMPACT and the EU Support HUB for Internal Security and State Border Management consists of offering the Republic of Moldova the possibility to participate in the European policy cycle in the field of security.
