	EUROPA - Justice and Home Affairs - Laeken european council - Eurojust
		Eurojust will be a high level team of senior lawyers, magistrates, prosecutors, judges and other legal experts seconded from every EU country, working as a team in the same place, in the same building.
		Eurojust, proposed by a special meeting of the European Council - heads of state and of government of every state in the EU - in Tampere, Finland, in October 1999, is the next major step in ensuring that there are no safe havens for criminals and terrorists in the European Union.
		EUROJUST should have the task of facilitating the proper coordination of national prosecuting authorities and of supporting criminal investigations in organised crime cases, notably based on Europol's analysis, as well as of co-operating closely with the European Judicial Network, in particular in order to simplify the execution of letters rogatory.

	AFSJ - Eurojust
		Eurojust is more than a mere centre of exchange for liaison magistrates, but it does not have the standing of a public prosecutor's office.
		Eurojust is to be informed of the delay in executing the warrant.In fulfilling these objectives, the unit only has the capacity to invite national authorities.
		Eurojust is not a European public prosecutor and may thus neither require the national judicial authorities to investigate or to commence prosecuting, nor substitute itself for them in the event of failure to do so.

		In the light of Eurojust's broad mandate, the Commission suggests that it identify a number of priorities, such as combating organised crime and counterfeiting of the euro.

		Eurojust will function as a kind of central headquarters of the Judicial Network, or as a central unit working in conjunction with the national contact points.

		Eurojust has been operative since the 28th of February 2002, and Member States are bound to fully implement in the national legal order the Eurojust Decision before September the 6th 2003, but this process has proved to raise serious problems.
		Eurojust responsibles answer to the above-mentioned objections by asserting that Eurojust is a new organism and that in order to manage such phase of transition the national members have acted not as Eurojust college, but though bilateral contacts between national members, exchanging personal information accoring to national powers and laws.

		Eurojust, the EU body set up to investigate serious cross-border crime in the member states, faces a mountain of work.
		Human trafficking, computer crime and terrorism are just some of the crimes dealt with by Eurojust, the EU authority charged with the investigation and prosecution of serious cross-border and organized crime.
		As a body established as recently as 2002 to enhance the effectiveness of collective crime fighting, and one which has more than 1000 live cases on its books, Eurojust could well claim to be one of the busiest and overwhelmed departments in the EU.
