EU mulls new central cybercrime agency

ssullivan

About time, but is Europol suitable?

Seems as if everyone (http://aofs.org/wp-content/files/2010/03/091201-Chertoff.pdf, http://www.ewi.info/international-pathways-cybersecurity-0) is pushing for a better ability to plan and integrate elements on this topic. Question is, is Europol suitable for this kind of remit, or is it too slow an organisation to be able to do anything? Anyone with more in-depth experience have some light to throw?

Cybercrime talks end in failure

Interesting to see national differences...

... on such a supposedly 'straightforward' topic. Note the article points to "'the South' says it wants more involvement in drafting the next such law..." Reminiscent somewhat of Copenhagen. Real movement on this topic needs to be private sector driven and not left up to government horse-trading, perhaps?
