Eurojust and Joint Investigation Teams: How Eurojust can support JITs*

The author analyses the contribution Eurojust can make to the successful setting up and operation of JITs by explaining the nature and role of Eurojust, the concept of a JIT, its uniqueness and the opportunities for cross-border co-operation created by JITs in the Member States, as well as the difficulties related to the JIT concept. The author shows how Eurojust can both help to overcome these problems and support JITs either via the Member States’ national legislation or via the provisions of the Eurojust Decision.
