European Judicial Network in criminal matters

The European Judicial Network (in criminal matters) is a network of national contact points in the EU Member States designated among central authorities and other competent authorities, with specific responsibilities in the field of judicial cooperation in criminal matters.

The Judicial Atlas of the European Judicial Network helps you find the competent authority you need to contact to request judicial cooperation in criminal matters, depending on the type of cooperation (‘measure’) required.

The Compendium is used to draft requests for judicial cooperation between EU countries.

The Judicial Library of the European Judicial Network (in criminal matters) is designed to provide legal practitioners with all available documents related to the EU legal instruments relevant for the area of judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The Judicial library contains also relevant documents of other institutions (CoE, UN).

The Fiches Belges is a tool that provides practical information on specific sets of measures that are covered by judicial cooperation in criminal matters.

In the Info about national systems page of the European Judicial Network website there are links to information on the judicial systems of countries linked to EJN.

Apart from its close relations with the EU candidate and associated countries, the European Judicial Network has also established relations with other judicial networks and several non-EU countries across the world.
