On 13 February, the EJN held its 46th EJN Regular meeting in The Hague under the Polish EJN Presidency. Approximately 60 EJN Contact Points from the EU and EU candidate/associated countries attended the meeting and exchanged information on recent legislative developments in their countries related to judicial cooperation. In addition, the meeting was an opportunity to address some practical and legal challenges in the cooperation, such as videoconference hearings and non-conviction based confiscations.
On the other hand, the EJN Secretariat provided the Contact Points with an update on the various projects where the EJN is involved as well as on cooperation with EU Institutions, EJN partners and regional judicial networks. Furthermore, the EJN discussed the state of play on administrative matters and on the EJN website related projects.
