The project, led by Lorena Bachmaier Winter and Farsam Salimi, 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 project will therefore develop a legislative proposal on admissibility and exclusionary rules of e-evidence as well as on traditional evidence in criminal proceedings, with a view to address this lack of uniform practice. The legislative proposal will be accompanied by a background study. The project will benefit all stakeholders involved in criminal proceedings, legislators, law enforcement agencies as well as the general public.
