European Judicial Network celebrates 25 years, seeing rise in requests for day-to-day judicial cooperation

The European Judicial Network (EJN) celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The anniversary, together with key EU developments in the area of judicial cooperation, will be featured during the EJN plenary meeting in Stockholm being held between the 12th and 14th of June. The EJN assists judges and prosecutors with day-to-day cooperation on criminal justice matters worldwide, via a network of National Contact Points. The EJN has seen the requests for this kind of collaboration rise, with 8 000 new reported cases and approximately 4 million website page views per year. The scope of the EJN meeting will include how to build on this success and improve cooperation in the future.
