Presentation of Eurojust

Eurojust was established as a result of a decision that the European Council of Tampere (15-16 October 1999) made to set up a permanent judicial co-operation unit in order to improve the fight against serious crime [source: European Parliament]. The Treaty of Nice amended the Treaty on the European Union to include a reference to Eurojust. On December 14, 2000, a precursor organization called Pro-Eurojust was created by the Council of the European Union to permit prosecutors to test the Eurojust processes. It began operating in Brussels on March 1, 2003 [source: Eurojust website] giving way to the establishment of Eurojust, which was then
established in February 2002 as EU Judicial Cooperation Unit by Council Decision 2002/187/JHA. The new organization settled in The Hague on April 29, 2003.

The Eurojust Regulation (Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation, replacing and repealing Council Decision 2002/187/JHA) was adopted on November 6, 2018 and became applicable on December 12, 2019.The Regulation established Eurojust as the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) and became directly applicable
on 12 December in the Member States, without a need for national transposing acts." [source: Eurojust website here and here].
