(5a) Considering the creation of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office by means of an enhanced cooperation, the division of competences between that Office and Eurojust with respect to crimes affecting the financial interests of the Union needs to be clearly established. Eurojust should be able to exercise its competence in such cases where they involve both Member States participating in enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and Members States which do not. In such cases, Eurojust should act at the request of those non- participating Member States or at the request of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office. Eurojust remains in any case competent for offences affecting the financial interest of the Union whenever the European Public Prosecutor’s Office is not competent or, being competent, does not exercise its competence. The Members States which do not participate in enhanced cooperation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office may continue to request Eurojust’s support in all cases regarding offences affecting the financial interest of the Union
