Report (pdf)

"It is estimated that at any one time some 4,500 EU nationals are held in custody in EU countries other than their normal country of residence. Persons resident in the Member State where they are suspected of having committed a crime may be granted bail while suspects resident in another Member State may be remanded in custody because they are perceived to be more likely to abscond.

In the absence of an international instrument specifically enabling the transfer of bail from one Member State to another, these “foreigners” may be detained for many months pending the outcome of the criminal investigation or trial. The Commission’s proposal for a European supervision order (ESO) seeks to address this problem."
