In 2017, Eurojust hosted 17 coordination centres, the highest annual number since their creation in 2011.

National authorities and Eurojust may set up a coordination centre when complex cases require the real-time exchange of information and large-scale multilateral actions.

The majority of the 17 coordination centres in 2017 dealt with cross-border financial crime; yet others tackled human trafficking, drug trafficking, and cybercrime.
