In accordance with Article 67(3) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1727 on the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust), the President of Eurojust shall appear once a year for the joint evaluation of Eurojust's activities by the European Parliament and national Parliaments, within the framework of an interparliamentary committee meeting.

In the past years, as a consequence of the war in Ukraine, the Eurojust Regulation has been amended with new provisions providing it with capacity to store, analyze and share evidence on core international crimes. In addition, an International Center for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine has been established within Eurojust. Drug trafficking is one of the most serious security threats facing Europe today. The situation is escalating, with an unprecedented increase in illicit drugs available in Europe. The drug trade continues to be one of the main profit-generating activities of organized crime. It has therefore been one of the top crimes dealt with by the Eurojust agency in the last year.

Against this backdrop the LIBE Committee organizes together with the Legislative Dialogue Unit of the Directorate for Relations with National Parliaments, the 5th interparliamentary committee meeting on "The evaluation of Eurojust activities".
