Full official title
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) and repealing Regulation (EU) 2018/1727open on 5 Oct 2026 Open for answers from 15 Jul 2026 to 4 Nov 2026 (open).

What the Commission proposes
The European Commission proposes a new regulation on the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust) to repeal and replace Regulation (EU) 2018/1727. This initiative responds to an evaluation showing that while Eurojust is indispensable, its operations need greater efficiency and a wider mandate to tackle modern cross-border crime. The proposal expands Eurojust's competence into emerging areas such as cybercrime, gender-based violence, and violations of EU restrictive measures, while transforming it into a more proactive analytical hub. It also aims to streamline the agency's internal structure and improve cooperation with partners like Europol and the European Public Prosecutor Office.
- Repeals and replaces Regulation (EU) 2018/1727 to establish a renewed legal framework for Eurojust.
- Expands Eurojust's mandate to cover emerging crime areas including cybercrime, gender-based violence, and violations of EU restrictive measures.
- Transforms Eurojust from a reactive coordination body into a strategic and analytical hub for cross-border judicial cooperation.
- Standardises National Members' status and powers to improve governance and operational efficiency.
- Addresses findings from the 2025 evaluation regarding complex decision-making, wide case scope, and slow procedures with third countries.
- Aligns with related revisions of the Europol Regulation, the European Investigation Order Directive, and the European Union Data Protection Regulation.
Affected, as named in the text: Member States; national investigating and prosecuting authorities; third countries; citizens; public authorities; companies/businesses; non-governmental organisations.
What is asked: The Commission sought the views of citizens, Member States, and other relevant stakeholders on Eurojust and the Eurojust Regulation via an online public consultation to inform the impact assessment for the revision of the Eurojust Regulation.

Dossier summary from the portal
Eurojust facilitates the cooperation and coordination of investigation and prosecution of serious cross-border and organised crime among Member State competent authorities and third countries. A recent evaluation confirmed that Eurojust provides an indispensable neutral and effective platform but that it could do even more. The Commission will conduct an impact assessment to explore how to strengthen Eurojust’s mandate, equipping it better to react quickly to the dynamic and international dimensions of organised crime and hybrid threats.

- Ensure that interoperability features are designed with strict data control principles such as source authority and auditability.
At implementation stage, we recommend that interoperability be designed around source authority, provenance, purpose limitation, lifecycle control and auditability.
- Treat automated matching or analytical results as derived intelligence rather than authoritative evidence.
Automated matching or analytical results should be treated as derived intelligence, not as authoritative evidence or a substitute for prosecutorial or judicial decision-making.
- Measure data quality, false matches, and the effectiveness of human oversight during implementation and evaluation.
We therefore recommend that implementation and future evaluation measure not only the volume or speed of data exchange, but also data quality, false matches, manual follow-up, provenance completeness, correction propagation and the effectiveness of human oversight.
- Ensure that interoperability features are designed with strict data control principles such as source authority and auditability.
