Established in 2002, Eurojust - the EU’s judicial cooperation unit - is
still among the newcomers of EU agencies. Nevertheless, as EU member
states rely more and more on the agency when investigating and
prosecuting transnational organised crime, further powers to fulfil its
tasks and act more effectively are required.
The new Council Decision for Eurojust which has recently been adopted,
shall harmonise and increase the powers of Eurojust’s national members,
strengthen Eurojust’s College and promote cooperation with the European
Judicial Network (EJN). The Council Decision includes new powers for
Eurojust’s national members, the reinforcement of their status, on-call
coordination, and increased exchange of information with their national
authorities.
Eurojust’s College will be able to decide on conflicts of jurisdiction
and conflicts in the area of application. Finally, Eurojust’s relations
with partners such as Europol, third states and liaison magistrates are
strengthened.
At the heart of the conference will be the impact of this Council
Decision on the cooperation between Eurojust, the EJN and national
practitioners as well as on Eurojust’s cooperation with partners, third
states and liaison magistrates.
