Eurojust was set up by the Council of the European Union in February 2002 (Council Decision 2002/187/JHA) 'to improve the fight against serious crime by facilitating the optimal co-ordination of action for investigations and prosecutions covering the territory of more than one Member State with full respect for fundamental rights and freedoms.' In January 2008, 14 Member States submitted a proposal for a Council Decision on the strengthening of Eurojust. The aim of this proposal was not to replace the existing Decision of February 2002, but only to amend it, in order to significantly improve the current situation of Eurojust and to reinforce the fight against serious crime. This Briefing Note looks at the background to this Decision. |
