The new legal framework of Eurojust entered into force on 4 June 2009 to further enhance its operational effectiveness. Council Decision 2009/426/JHA on the strengthening of Eurojust has the main objectives to:

• Improve the transmission of information to Eurojust
• Create a common minimum basis of National Members’ powers
• Establish an emergency On-Call Coordination
• Strengthen Eurojust’s ties with national authorities and co-operation with the European Judicial Network
• Enhance relations with partners such as Europol, OLAF, Frontex, and SitCen and third States.

A timely and efficient implementation of the revised Eurojust Decision both at Eurojust and in the Member States is essential in helping to provide an area of Freedom, Security and Justice for the citizens of the European Union.
