Explanatory statement 4 blocks

Eurojust works with national authorities to combat a wide range of serious and complex cross-border crimes such as terrorism, cybercrime, human trafficking, drug trafficking, migrant smuggling. In a fast changing modern world, with emerging, but also persisting threats, safety and security of our citizens is crucial. We need to use all the tools at our disposal to make sure our society is protected from dangers posed by those that break our laws. Cooperation in criminal matters and coordinated judicial response to growing threats, allows the Member States to keep one step ahead of criminals and organised crime.

The objective of this agreement is to enhance judicial cooperation between Eurojust and the competent authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to more efficiently combat serious crime, which very often is transnational and extends to countries outside of the European Union. This agreement will allow for the transfer of personal data between Eurojust and the competent authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to support and strengthen the action by the competent authorities in investigating and prosecuting serious crime, in particular organised crime and terrorism.

At the same time, it will ensure appropriate safeguards with respect to privacy and protection of personal data.

The conclusion of this agreement will provide added value in ensuring safer and more secure Europe for our citizens.
