The Eurojust Regulation, applicable from 12 December 2019, reinforces Eurojust's successful core concept of supporting the national authorities in their investigations and prosecutions. The National Members, serving their national authorities in criminal judicial cooperation matters, provide strategic guidance and participate actively in the operational and policy activities linked to the mandate of Eurojust. In 2023, the 76 National Members, Deputies and Assistants were supported by 278 staff.

This report focuses on the implementation of the Annual Work Programme (AWP) 2023 and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), the 2023 budget execution and staffing policies, and the implementation of internal controls. The AWP 2023 is the second AWP under Eurojust’s Multi-Annual Strategy (MAS) 2022-2024.

Eurojust achieved 76% of the 2023 KPIs, and made a steady progress towards achieving its multi-annual KPIs. In 2023, casework increased by 14%, and Eurojust continued building up its ability to act on its own initiative. In total, 577 Coordination Meetings and 21 Coordination Centres were organised. Eurojust supported 288 Joint Investigation Teams, facilitated the execution of 1259 European Arrest Warrants and enabled the use of 6299 European Investigation Orders.
