Website: European Judicial Network

The European Judicial Network (EJN) was established in June 1998, its aim being to identify and put in touch those persons in every Member State who play a fundamental role in judicial co-operation in criminal matters. It was the first practical structured mechanism of judicial co-operation in the EU to become truly operational.

The website of the European Judicial Network in Civil and Commercial Matters, which became operational in December 2002, may be accessed via the Related Url. The network consists of representatives of the Member States' judicial and administrative authorities for cooperation as regards civil and commercial law. The main objective is to make life easier for people facing litigation of whatever kind where there is a transnational element, that is to say where it involves more than one Member State.
