The Eurojust Regulation, applicable from 12 December 2019, reinforces Eurojust's successful core concept of supporting the national authorities in their investigations and prosecutions. The National Members, serving the competent national authorities in criminal judicial cooperation matters, provide strategic guidance and participate actively in the operational and policy activities linked to the mandate of Eurojust. In 2020, the 87 National Members, Deputies and Assistants were supported by 245 staff.

The Annual Work Programme (AWP) 2020 is the second AWP under the multi-annual strategy (MAS) 2019-2021. Eurojust’s MAS 2019-2021 is a flexible and future-oriented tool supporting the development of Eurojust, in view of the application of the Eurojust Regulation and the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO). This report focuses on the implementation of the AWP 2020 and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), the 2020 budget execution and staffing policies, and the implementation of internal controls.
