‘Nowadays, information and communication technology and networking are the best formulas and strategic allies for justice in fighting organised transnational crime. Particularly in the global context of COVID-19, Iber@ facilitates the partnership of Eurojust and IberRed through the instantaneous exchange of information on a secure platform, allowing competent authorities to be more efficient in cross-border cooperation.’
Enrique Gil Botero, IberRed Secretary General
In June 2020, Eurojust took a big step to improve the exchange of information and communication with judicial authorities in Latin America by agreeing on broader access to the Iber@ Secure Communication System. The Ibero-American Network of International Legal Cooperation (IberRed) and Eurojust then signed an Implementing Arrangement (available in all official EU languages) to their 2009 Memorandum of Understanding, which will open the system to all National Desks at Eurojust. This will enable safe, real-time communication with the IberRed Contact Points in Latin America, who are experienced judges, prosecutors and central authorities with competence in international legal cooperation matters in their countries.
