【 摘 要 】

Cooperation between judicial systems is a key element for sustainable development and one of the key priorities for EU. Due to cross-border crimes rise, the EU is working on the development of judicialcooperation between Member States. Increase of illegal immigration,trafficking of drugs, weapons and human beings, and the advent of terrorism,made necessary a stronger judicial collaboration between States. Judicialcooperation includes mutual recognition of judicial decisions, cooperation ininvestigation phase, and approximation of penal legislation of involved states.During the investigations an exchange of information on criminal offences andadministrative infringements takes place between judges and investigatorsbelonging to different countries, actually based mostly on paper support. Thepaper presents an overview of judicial cooperation in cross-borderinvestigations, describing how ICT infrastructures and computer supportedcooperative work (CSCW), coped with security technologies, can supportjudicial cooperation of magistrates' activities during cross-border investigations on criminal matters in a process still paper based.
