For the European Union, fighting corruption is a fundamental precondition for upholding the rule of law, peace and security, and for achieving sustainable development as well as respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It is the reason why the European Union is actively involved in counter-corruption, and why it also remains a priority for Eurojust.

In 2021, Eurojust provided input to the Report of the European Union on the review of its implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. The Report explains how the European Union has implemented the obligations stemming from the Convention. Eurojust’s input underlines the Agency’s mission to support and strengthen coordination and cooperation between national investigating and prosecuting authorities in relation to corruption cases.
