With the overall aim to protect the euro
against counterfeiting, Pericles works
to raise awareness and to act as a
catalyst
for
closer
cooperation
between relevant structures and staff.
It also seeks improving the general
understanding of relevant European
and
international
laws
and
instruments.
The aim is better protection for euro
banknotes and coins in Europe and
worldwide – by ensuring anticounterfeiting measures throughout
the EU have equivalent effect while
respecting distinct national traditions
and by improving cooperation between
authorities.
