In view of Denmark’s special status in the area of criminal justice after the Lisbon treaty was adopted, Denmark is not taking part in the new Regulation concerning Eurojust and is not bound by it. However, Denmark expressed the wish to further participate in the activities of Eurojust, and in that regard a cooperation agreement has to be agreed between Denmark and Eurojust. Consequently, I voted in favour of the proposed draft Council implementing decision approving the conclusion by Eurojust of the Agreement on Criminal Justice Cooperation between Eurojust and the Kingdom of Denmark.
