The Europol and Eurojust Project on Joint Investigation Teams*

In a common project, Eurojust and Europol produced a guide to the EU Member States’ legislation on Joint Investigation Teams which gives an overview of the legal possibilities in all EU Member States to set up Joint Investigation Teams pursuant to Article 13 of the EU’s 2000 MLA Convention, as well as the means by which Europol and Eurojust can support these teams under each legal framework. The following article outlines the initiation of the project, its execution and the difficulties encountered. Finally, the guide itself will be presented.
