Cooperation agreement between Eurojust and Ukraine

2015/0810(CNS)

The European Parliament adopted by 555 votes to 67, with 61 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the draft Council implementing decision approving the conclusion by Eurojust of the Agreement on Cooperation between Eurojust and Ukraine.

Parliament approved the Council draft in the framework of the consultation procedure.

To recall, the draft agreement contains provisions concerning the operational cooperation between Eurojust and Ukraine, such as the secondment of a liaison officer by Ukraine to Eurojust and the exchange of information. It seeks to aid and reinforce the fight against serious crime and would contribute to enhancing judicial co-operation, in particular in the field of organised crime and terrorism.
