Solutions from industry to address needs & challenges. We want to tell you about the role and the contribution that eu-LISA is bringing to the table.</em></p><p><em>ECRIS-TCN, e-CODEX and JITs CP will bring tangible benefits to cross-border judicial cooperation for Member States, justice practitioners and ultimately, EU citizens. They will reinforce the values of security and justice across Europe.</em>"</p><p>The afternoon progressed with introductory remarks by Manuel Olmedo, Secretary General at the Spanish General Secretariat for Innovation and Quality of the Public Justice Service followed by Ana Gallego, Director-General for Justice and Consumers at the European commission (DG JUST).

However, I see that all together we are well on track in addressing them both at Member State and EU level. After all, it takes a network to fight a network!</em></p><p><em>Let me assure you, when it comes to cross-border judicial cooperation, eu-LISA stands ready to support you with our experience and expertise in developing and implementing reliable and scalable IT solutions.</em>"</p><p>Further details about the topics covered, as well as an executive summary, full report and photo gallery, will soon be available on the
