The Network

The Network of Public Prosecutors or equivalent institutions at the Supreme Judicial Courts of the Member States of the European Union, commonly referred to as the NADAL Network, is an association created in 2008 at the initiative of Jean-Louis Nadal, then Prosecutor General at the French Court of Cassation. It is constituted under French law and has its seat in Paris.

The Network brings together the Public Prosecutors General or equivalent institutions operating at the supreme judicial courts of the Member States of the European Union. It also includes, in accordance with specific statutory arrangements, partners from former Member States of the European Union, as well as observers from third European States, European institutions and international organisations whose activities are directly related to criminal justice (Eurojust, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, the European Judicial Training Network and the International Association of Prosecutors). The European Commission holds the status of Permanent Invitee.

The purpose of the Network is to promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among the highest representatives of European prosecution services on the role, organisation and functioning of these prosecution offices. It seeks to strengthen mutual understanding of national judicial systems, to accompany their evolution in light of European case law, and to engage in joint reflection on shared issues, with a view to strengthening the European judicial area and the rule of law.
