The project will address the longstanding issue of the admissibility of evidence gathered in cross-border criminal proceedings in the EU, on which no uniform practice among EU Member States exists to date. The aim is to develop a legislative proposal on admissibility and exclusionary rules of (e-)evidence in criminal proceedings. The legislative proposal will be accompanied by a background study.

Interested ELI Members are invited to join the project’s MCC and, thereby, help to shape its outcome. MCC members will be invited for comments at various stages of the project, overall offering guidance and insight. The level of involvement in the MCC is not predetermined and, thus, it is for each MCC member to decide how much time to devote to a project. More information about MCCs is available here.
