Introduction
Target group: Judges, Prosecutors and Defense Lawyers from Denmark, Romania and other
Member States.
Description: Collecting evidence in cross-border cases can be a difficult task for competent
authorities in the different Member States of the European Union. Composed of different legal and
judicial systems, the European Union until now had not have a unique set of rules yet enabling
Member States to deal efficiently and uniformly with collection, and recognition of evidence. This
seminar will present the different common investigation tools recognised at the EU level (Joint
Investigation Teams, Mutual legal assistance requests, freezing orders etc.) as well as the recently
adopted new legislative instrument the European Investigation Order. The analysis of those
instruments and practical case studies will generate exchanges amongst participants and experts
and sharing of best practices
Method: A mixture of presentations, case studies, discussions and workshops.
Objectives: The objective of this seminar is twofold: firstly, helping practitioners to understand
and to use the possibilities existing at European level to collect evidence and identifying good
practices; secondly, to enhance communication and cooperation in this field between national
judicial authorities.
