Eurojust

What Eurojust does

Eurojust is the European Union's agency for criminal justice cooperation, headquartered in The Hague and established in 2002 by EU Regulation. It coordinates cross-border criminal investigations and prosecutions across the EU's 27 member states by stationing a National Member from each jurisdiction under one roof, enabling real-time case coordination, conflict-of-jurisdiction resolution, and execution of European Arrest Warrants and European Investigation Orders. The agency's primary users are national prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement authorities from EU member states, with an extended cooperation network covering third-country judicial authorities.

The agency's offering consists of operational services rather than commercial products. Core delivery channels include coordination meetings, coordination centres, and on-call coordination services that bring investigators from different countries into joint operational planning. Eurojust also administers Joint Investigation Team (JIT) funding through the JITs Funding Portal, with both a standard grant scheme and an urgent funding track; in 2025 the agency disbursed over EUR 2 million under these schemes and facilitated 412 JITs. The technology backbone comprises the Eurojust National Coordination System (ENCS), the JITs Funding Portal, and the SIRIUS knowledge platform co-implemented with Europol for cross-border access to electronic evidence, supplemented by practitioner networks such as the European Judicial Cybercrime Network (EJCN), the European Judicial Organised Crime Network, and the Genocide Prosecution Network.

Eurojust does not operate a commercial revenue model. It is funded through the EU budget and provides its coordination services to public authorities free of charge. Governance is exercised through a College of National Members, an Executive Board, and an Administrative Director, with Vincent Jamin serving as Administrative Director since 1 October 2023 (mandate extended in 2025). The agency's most active partnerships are with Europol, the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), Frontex, eu-LISA, the International Criminal Court, and the European Commission.

Core offering

Eurojust coordinates cross-border criminal investigations and prosecutions among EU member states. It brings together national prosecutors and judges from all 27 EU member states — each represented by a National Member stationed at its headquarters in The Hague — to facilitate judicial cooperation in serious cross-border crime including terrorism, organised crime, cybercrime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, and financial crime. The agency hosts coordination meetings, operates real-time coordination centres, supports Joint Investigation Teams with funding and logistics, and provides a secure case-management platform for information exchange between national authorities.

Product overview

Eurojust is the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation, functioning as a coordination hub rather than a software product company. Its offering consists primarily of operational services, practitioner networks, and collaborative projects that facilitate cross-border judicial cooperation among EU member states. The core services include hosting coordination meetings, supporting Joint Investigation Teams (JITs) with funding through the JITs Funding Portal, and operating coordination centres for real-time cross-border case coordination. Key projects include SIRIUS (for electronic evidence), the European Judicial Cybercrime Network (EJCN), and regional justice cooperation programmes with the Western Balkans and EuroMed countries. The agency also provides the Digital Criminal Justice Programme to modernize judicial cooperation digitally.

Direct peers

• Europol: Europol is the EU's law enforcement agency and Eurojust's closest operational partner. The two agencies collaborate daily on cross-border crime, joint investigation teams, and coordination meetings, serving overlapping member state authorities from the same headquarters city (The Hague).
• Frontex: Frontex is the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, coordinating operational border management across EU member states. Eurojust and Frontex collaborate on migrant smuggling cases and cross-border crime, making Frontex a peer in the EU cross-border security ecosystem.
• eu-LISA: eu-LISA operates large-scale IT systems supporting EU justice and home affairs agencies, including the infrastructure Eurojust relies on for cross-border judicial cooperation. It is a technology-and-infrastructure peer within the same EU agency ecosystem.
• CEPOL (EU Agency for Law Enforcement Training): CEPOL is the EU agency for law enforcement training, partnering with Eurojust on joint training programmes for judicial and law enforcement authorities. Both are EU agencies supporting cross-border cooperation capacity building.
• European Judicial Network (EJN): The EJN facilitates judicial cooperation in criminal and civil matters between EU member states, closely coordinating with Eurojust. It is structurally a peer network sharing similar coordination functions at the judicial level.
• European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO): EPPO is the EU's independent prosecution body for crimes against the EU budget. As an EU-level prosecution and judicial cooperation body headquartered alongside Eurojust, EPPO is structurally analogous and works directly with Eurojust on overlapping case portfolios.

Broad incumbents

• Council of Europe (Cybercrime Division): The Council of Europe's Cybercrime Division (T-CY) supports implementation of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime across 60+ countries. It overlaps with Eurojust's SIRIUS project and EJCN network in the cross-border electronic evidence space.
• International Criminal Court (ICC): The ICC prosecutes core international crimes (war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide). Eurojust cooperates with the ICC and participates in the JIT on Ukraine, making the ICC a comparable supranational judicial body with adjacent — though distinct — scope.
• Interpol: Interpol is the global counterpart to Eurojust for police and judicial cooperation across 196 countries. While broader in geographic scope and focused on police rather than judicial cooperation, Interpol's cross-border coordination role is directly comparable in function.
• UNODC (UN Office on Drugs and Crime): UNODC is the UN's global programme addressing drug trafficking, organised crime, terrorism, and corruption. As a global intergovernmental body coordinating criminal justice cooperation, it is a broader incumbent comparable in mission to Eurojust's international scope.
