Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to show actions performed by European Union in terms of fighting an organized crime. Crime destructively influences the complacency of EU society and economic framework. Fighting the phenomenon, which indefectibly employs advances of modern technology and democratic freedoms of nowadays Europe, requires a broad cooperation and an exchange of information between member states. To serve this purpose there were created institutions presented in the paper and legal regulations were implemented in the second half of 20th century and nowadays. In this area, there are various problems arising from the differences in national legislation, mentality, and, what limits the exchange of information most, the unwillingness to share their own knowledge.Breaking these limits can have positive effects in the fight against organized crime in a united Europe.
