What is the European Judicial Network? The EJN is a network of national judicial practitioners with more than 450 Contact Points in the 27 Member States who assist the national authorities in the facilitation of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters. [...] The EJN Secretariat is responsible, inter alia, for providing support to the Contact Points in fulfilling their tasks, for setting up, maintaining and improving the EJN website and its operational e-tools, and for the overall administration of the EJN. [...] What can the EJN do for you? If you need assistance from the EJN, you may contact one of the Contact Points in your country or a Contact Point in the country involved in the case. [...] The Judicial Atlas5 on the EJN website is the tool to be used to identify the competent executing authority and to obtain the address, e-mail address and telephone/fax number; - to obtain more detailed information on the legal and procedural requirements laid down by the law of the requested Member State or to discuss special formalities for the execution of the request. [...] The Library also includes sections on the cooperation outside the EU; 4 In this paper, ‘Request for judicial cooperation’ is used both for traditional requests for MLA and for instruments based on the principle of mutual recognition, such as the EAW and the EIO.
