About EIO-LAPD
Judicial cooperation in criminal matters is universally considered to be of paramount importance for the smooth functioning of the European area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers. In the European Union, this goal was inter alia pursued by adopting normative acts resting upon the principle of mutual recognition. The crucial instrument which applied this principle to the gathering and transfer of evidence in criminal cases is Directive 2014/41/EU regarding the European Investigation Order in criminal matters. There is however a plethora of theoretical and practical questions which aroused with the adoption of the new directive. This is why seven higher education and research institutions teamed up to cooperate in a project called European Investigation Order – Legal Analysis and Practical Dilemmas of International Cooperation – EIO-LAPD.
DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM
Practical implementation of the Directive was, until recently, lacking in many Member States – despite its importance regarding the fight on terrorism and for a smooth functioning of the European area of freedom, security and justice in general.
EXPECTED RESULTS
This project aims to benefit all who are engaged in European cross-border crime investigation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters: judges, lawyers, public prosecutors, academics, police officers and others who are dealing with evidence gathering and investigation procedures on a daily basis.
METHODOLOGY
The methodology of this project does not merely include the identification and legal analysis of the existing implementation law of EIO, but also gathering of information on the practical application of the EIO from legal practitioners.
PROJECT PARTNERS
The EIO-LAPD project is carried out as a partnership of seven project partners from six different countries: Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, Germany, Italy and Portugal. Each brings its own unique expertise and networks to the project.
