The EMPRISES pan-European Framework: Monitoring and Combatting Serious Organised Economic Crime

There is a need for further integration of information systems globally for tackling Serious Organised Economic Crime SOEC. Taking Europe as the illustration, and levering existing pan-EU European Union systems such as Europol's SIENA and the FIU.NET as well as national systems, further steps can be taken to provide a more coherent and coordinated approach for detecting and deterring SOEC. This aim is achievable through the EMPRISES framework, which adds value to national, SIENA and FIU.NET systems by increasing the effectiveness of communication across Europe. EMPRISES would introduce an agreed common language taxonomy of SOEC, including multi-lingual support. Moreover, by enriching the taxonomy with current business tools and analysis techniques through the SOEC Architecture that EMPRISES embodies, the illegitimate businesses of SOEC can be monitored and combatted.
