Partnerships

In our enforcement tasks, we cooperate with other government agencies that deal with the same issue. We do this in various fixed partnerships, in which the business community sometimes takes part as well.

Some examples of such partnerships:

  • We work with the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Department (FIOD), the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) and the Seaport Police in the HARC team: the Hit-and-Run Cargo Team. This team detects and investigates drug smuggling in the port of Rotterdam and at Schiphol Airport.
  • The National Cooperation against Subversive Crime (NSOC) is charged with disrupting subversive crime networks. We work with the PPS, the police, the FIOD, the Tax Administration and the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee (KMar).
  • We also cooperate with four Regional Information and Expertise Centres to tackle subversive crime: Amsterdam-Amstelland, Rotterdam, Noord-Holland and Zeeland-West Brabant.
  • To combat subversive crime in the Rotterdam port, we work with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, the municipality of Rotterdam and Deltalinqs. And in the approach to Schiphol Airport with the Schiphol Group and KLM, among others.
  • Illegal tobacco trading is tax evasion, creates unfair competition and criminal wealth and undermines anti-smoking policies. In the Smoke project, we dismantle criminal organisations involved in this, together with the FIOD and the PPS.
  • There is an obligation to report for cash and money-laundering sensitive items above €10,000. The purpose of this is to keep an eye on money flows and to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. The Liquid Assets Collaborative Network (Customs, FIOD and KMar) is charged with this task.
  • The Coast Guard, together with Customs, the Seaport Police and the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, monitors the Dutch borders on the North Sea.
