With regards to Justice, Denmark will put a strong focus on combating serious cross-border and organised crime during its Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Denmark took over the Presidency of the Council from Poland, last week.
Representative for Denmark at Eurojust, Ms Kirstine Troldborg, stated: ‘Having started as Representative for Denmark only a few months ago, it’s a great honour to collaborate with my colleague prosecutors at Eurojust on the Danish EU Presidency. We share common goals, and the fight against serious cross-border and organised crime, which has a serious human and societal impact, is the priority we will work on together, bringing in our specific judicial expertise.’
Fighting serious organised crime was also a priority for the Polish EU Presidency and builds on the work of the European Judicial Organised Crime Network (EJOCN), which is hosted at Eurojust. Established in September 2024, the EJOCN brings together specialised prosecutors to take a more strategic and coordinated approach to combating major organised crime groups, which increasingly operate on a global scale.
The Danish priority of tackling major organised crime will further strengthen and support the work of the EJOCN and cross-border judicial cooperation in this area. Denmark will also focus on strengthening judicial protection and law enforcement authorities’ ability to fight online activities.
Throughout its Presidency, Denmark will ensure the protection of fundamental rights.
