European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (EUROJUST)

urojust – the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation  – supports and strengthens coordination and cooperation between national investigating and prosecuting authorities.

Eurojust assists prosecutors and other investigators from EU Member States in cases of serious crime where that crime affects two or more Member States, or requires prosecution on common bases, on the basis of operations conducted and information supplied by the Member States’ authorities, by Europol, by the EPPO and by OLAF.

Eurojust acts at the request of the competent authorities of the Member States or on its own initiative. In some cases Eurojust can act at the request of the European Commission or the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
