The Justice and Home Affairs Agencies’ Network (JHA) was established in 2010, building on the inter-agency cooperation in place since 2006, with the aim to facilitate and increase inter-agency cooperation in the field of Justice and Home Affairs. Today, the Network is composed of 9 agencies, all presented in this brochure. These agencies cooperate closely together on topics of common interest, on a bilateral, and multilateral level.

Meetings: To foster and facilitate inter-agency cooperation, Network members meet on a regular basis at horizontal and expert level to discuss recent developments, and to exchange knowledge and experience.

Tools and Products: Over the years, the Network has developed a set of tools and products (updated on a yearly basis) to map agencies’ activities in different key areas of the JHA field.

Observers: To create a bridge and to keep each other mutually informed of EU policy developments and agencies’ activities, the Network includes 5 observers from the EU institutions - DG HOME, DG JUST, EEAS, GSC, and the LIBE Secretariat.
