The strategic seminar ‘Conflicts of Jurisdiction, Transfer of Proceedings and Ne Bis in Idem: Successes, Shortcomings and Solutions’, jointly organised by Eurojust and the Latvian Presidency of the EU, took place on 4 June 2015. The seminar was organised in combination with the 9th Meeting of the Consultative Forum of Prosecutors General and Directors of Public Prosecutions of the Member States of the European Union (Consultative Forum) that was convened on 5 June 2015 by the Prosecutor General of Latvia with the support of Eurojust. Participants of Member States, EU institutions and Eurojust attended both events.

The goal of the seminar was to bring practitioners together to identify difficulties, best practice and possible future developments or improvements in the field of conflicts of jurisdiction, transfer of proceedings and ne bis in idem.

The conclusions of the four workshops held during the seminar were presented during the Consultative Forum meeting. Forum members also gave written input in advance of the seminar and Consultative Forum meeting.

The seminar was chaired by Michèle Coninsx (President of Eurojust) and opened by Maija Andrijauska (Prosecutor of the International Cooperation Division of the Prosecutor General's Office, Latvia).
