Notes

"One of the major tasks of the Swedish EU Presidency (beginning July 2009) is to develop a new five-year programme for justice and home affairs-the ‘Stockholm programme’. This is the successor to the Hague justice and home affairs programme, which expires in December 2009. The Hague programme included pursuit of the principle of mutual recognition of judicial decisions and the further development of Eurojust, the EU level organisation for liaison between prosecutors and judges"
