For Austria , Reinhard Posch is a representative on the administrative board, which was chairman until 2010.

Possible conflicts
With the establishment of the European Center for Combating Cybercrime under the umbrella of Europol , conflicts are possible due to the overlapping of competencies of the two organizations. The cause lies in the lack of coordination between the areas of responsibility.
