EUROJUST IN E.U. - JUDICIAL CO-OPERATION
Get PDFEurojust's specific task is to actively liaise between European Union states’ competent authorities to further improve, simplify and speed-up their co-operation. It is a small, dynamic, judicial co-operation unit set up under the European Union's “third pillar” in order to reinforce the fight against serious cross-border crime, particularly when such crime is organised. Eurojust has a unique structure with a specific role: to intervene in the context of investigations and prosecutions concerning two or more European Unions states, to collaborate in the criminal area, complicates their co-operation when addressing cross-border cases despite the existence of conventions on the subject.Eurojust, judicial co-operation, criminal matters, dynamic, competent, impact, European Union

Eurojust
No full textProducción CientíficaIn 1999, the Tampere European Council agreed that a Unit called Eurojust should be set up to reinforce the fight against serious organised crime. Following that statement, and after a brief period working as a provisional judicial cooperation unit, Eurojust was definitively established through a Council Decision in 2002 as a Union body with legal personality. The Lisbon Treaty called for a strengthened role of Eurojust, which has led to the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2018/1727 on the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation. This new legal framework for Eurojust and its national members, applicable from 12 December 2019, has adapted the agency structure to the post-Lisbon scenario, introducing new features and enhancements that must be regarded as positive from the European dimension perspective. It also considers the judicial nature of their operational functions and the need to improve mutual trust between judicial authorities, strengthening the primacy of the rule of law within the Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice. More than twenty years after the first mentioning of Eurojust at the Tampere summit, and when the new Eurojust Regulation is already in force, this chapter combines both academic and operational approaches to offer the reader an updated, comprehensive view of the mission, added value, and extensive possibilities offered by this unique European Union agency.El presente trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación nacional “Proceso penal y Unión Europea. Análisis y propuestas” (Ref. PID2020-116848GB-I00)

Coordination and initiation of investigations and prosecutions through Eurojust
No full textThe article provides a detailed analysis of the different interpretations and alternative scenarios for the implementation of Article 85 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as regards providing binding powers to Eurojust in exercising two functions: coordination as well as initiation of investigations and prosecutions. In this respect, Art. 85 TFEU opens new prospects, some ambitious, some moderate and some essentially maintaining the status quo. The author examines the advantages and disadvantages of each institutional development scenario succinctly, building upon the valuable conclusions and arguments that have been presented at the strategic seminars organised by Eurojust in past years. © 2013 ERA.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
