A College of National Members at The Hague: the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation

Background

Eurojust, the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation, is a hub based in The Hague, the Netherlands, where national judicial authorities work closely together to fight serious organised cross-border crime.
Its role is to coordinate the work of national authorities, from the EU Member States as well as third States, in investigating and prosecuting transnational crime.
Each participating EU Member State seconds a National Member to Eurojust.
The National Members form the College of Eurojust, which is responsible for the operational work of the Agency.
The College is supported by the Eurojust Administration, which includes case analysts, legal advisors and data experts.
Eurojust has developed a network that grants prosecutors around the European Union access to more than 70 jurisdictions worldwide.
The Agency has signed cooperation agreements with a dozen non-EU states, several of which have seconded Liaison Prosecutors to Eurojust.
Its organisation also includes an Executive Board, a Presidency and an Administrative Director.
