Last week, H.E. Mgr Aldo Cavalli, Apostolic Nuncio to the Kingdom of Netherlands, met with representatives of the College of Eurojust. It is the first time that a representative from the Holy See pays an official visit to Eurojust.

Mgr Cavalli met with Mr Ladislav Hamran, President of Eurojust, and National Member for the Slovak Republic. During their bilateral meeting, the discussions centred on migrant smuggling, trafficking in human beings and the protection of victims of crime, topics in which also the Holy See is also particularly interested and engaged. Eurojust voiced once more its dedication to enhanced collaboration with third States and welcomed the prospect of expanding its efforts in this direction by exchanging information and best practice, as well as by sharing knowledge and expertise, with Vatican's authorities.

The Apostolic Nuncio also met with Mr Klaus Meyer-Cabri, Vice-President of Eurojust and National Member for Germany, Mr Filippo Spiezia, Vice-President of Eurojust and National Member for Italy and Mr Francisco Jiménez-Villarejo, National Member for Spain at Eurojust. They discussed Eurojust's work in the field of the protection of victims of crime, cooperation with third States, and fighting migrant smuggling.
