In 2019, we supported almost 8 000 cross-border criminal investigations and helped maximize the use of EU judicial cooperation tools. Many investigations extended far beyond EU borders and involved close cooperation with other EU agencies to ensure that information was shared and links were detected between ongoing criminal cases.

Eurojust’s Single Programming Document 2021-2023 reflects our relentless commitment to continue being the leading partner in bringing criminals to justice and a key player in ensuring a more secure world. Eurojust will strive to respond to each request for practical assistance from Member States, ranging from rapid responses to complex, coordinated operations, which may stretch over several years and often culminate in international action days monitored in real-time from our coordination centre.

We will take active part in the development and implementation of the EU’s strategic initiatives for internal security, including in the implementation of the EU new policy cycle, which need to duly include the judicial component throughout the internal security chain. We will consolidate the insights gathered through our casework in the form of best practices and user guidelines and continue to bring specialists together to learn from each other in their area of expertise.
