At a dinner in Brussels on Monday, Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer (M) gathered together EU Home Affairs Commissioner Magnus Brunner as well as representatives of other EU countries and the EU Parliament. All with the aim of pressing for more to be done and for more people to do the same to combat the way young people are today recruited online to commit crimes.
The EU must review its regulations so that it is clear that it has the same power in relation to organized crime as it does to terrorists, Strömmer says afterwards.
The wish list includes making it faster and easier for tech giants and police to remove online material related to this type of crime. But it's also about when and how to access what's in encrypted chats, for example.
It's a difficult question, but absolutely crucial in a situation where we see that 90 percent - say Swedish police - have moved to channels they don't have access to, says Strömmer in Brussels.
