Ever since its establishment in 1998, the European Judicial Network has functioned as an essential instrument for facilitating international judicial cooperation in criminal matters, resulting in more than 14,000 cases over the last two years of reporting. The success of the EJN is based on a combination of the Contact Points’ expertise, willingness to support and the flexible nature of the Network.

The EJN is currently composed of approximately 400 Contact Points designated by each Member State from central authorities in charge of international judicial cooperation and judicial or other competent authorities with specific responsibilities in the field of international cooperation.
