Information and evidence sharing between judicial authorities of EU Member States is crucial to effectively investigate cross-border criminal cases. Based on a note presented by Eurojust, Member States discussion in the Council has acknowledged the need to further enable information exchange under the concept of Digital Criminal Justice and provide the necessary support to the judicial community in order to do so.

A fast, reliable and secure IT infrastructure is hence required, which should be easily accessible, user-friendly, swift, secure (encrypted), automated and interoperable between national authorities, Eurojust and other Justice and Home Affairs agencies.
