To support and strengthen actions by the competent authorities of the Member States, Europol should be able to temporarily deploy staff, including seconded national experts, to provide analytical, operational, technical and forensic support. Such deployments should notably take place in the context of complex, large-scale and high-profile investigations and criminal intelligence exchange activities requiring Europol’s support. Those deployments should also support further security checks against Europol or national databases in order to facilitate rapid information exchange to strengthen controls at the Union’s external borders (secondary security checks), or migration management support teams in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1896 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Europol should also make use of such deployments to support Member States in relation to major international events.
