EU: EUROPEAN INVESTIGATION ORDER (EIO): Opinion of the Fundamental Rights Agency

01 March 2011

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

EU: EUROPEAN INVESTIGATION ORDER (EIO): Opinion of the Fundamental Rights Agency: initiative of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Republic of Estonia, the Kingdom of Spain, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Slovenia and the Kingdom of Sweden for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council regarding the European Investigation Order in criminal matters - Opinion of Fundamental Right Agency (pdf). The FRA calls for a fundamental rights based approach and is concerned that only certain rights are considered.

Terms such as "investigatory measures" should be explicitly defined and "it appears that the draft directive is neither based on a proper impact assessment nor on an extensive gathering of evidence in the 27 Member States." See also: Statewatch Observatory on the EIO
