On 19 and 20 November 2014, the strategic meeting on cybercrime titled ‘Cybercrime - rising to the challenges of the 21st century’ was held at the Eurojust premises in The Hague.

More than 40 international judicial and police experts in the field of cybercrime participated, including representatives from the Council of Europe, Interpol, Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), the FBI, CEPOL, ENISA and EEAS, as well as Eurojust College members.

Based on identified obstacles in cybercrime investigations and prosecutions, it was decided to focus the strategic meeting on three main topics: admissibility of e-evidence, trans-border access to data and data retention.
