Combating organized transboundary crime: establishment of the unity Eurojust. Initiative Germany

Following the discussions in the Working Party on Cooperation in Criminal Matters on 5 and 6 October and 15 November 2000, the Presidency is submitting a partially revised text of a draft Council Decision setting up EUROJUST 8 to delegations. The Presidency considers that the articles should be discussed in the following order of priority: Article 6 and 7, then Articles 4 and 5, and possibly Article 9. The points on which the Presidency feels a debate is particularly necessary include: - the composition of Eurojust; - the types of crime and the offences in respect of which Europol is competence to act; - accession to judicial records from the Member States; - national correspondent and their tasks; - exchange of information with Europol and - relations with partners.�
