Abstract

Since the European Union (EU) has received powers to adopt legally binding acts in the area of judicial cooperation in criminal matters, the Treaties expressly referred to conflicts of jurisdiction as one of the issues to be tackled. Under the Amsterdam Treaty, the Union could adopt decisions and framework decisions with the aim of ‘preventing conflicts of jurisdiction between Member States’ (ex-​Article 31(d) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU)). The Treaty of Nice (26 February 2001) added the coordination of prosecutions through Eurojust.
