"The Council adopted today a directive regarding the European Investigation Order (EIO) in criminal matters (PE-CONS 122/13). The goal of the directive is to allow member states to carry out investigative measures at the request of another member state on the basis of mutual recognition. The investigative measures would, for example, include interviewing witnesses, obtaining of information or evidence already in the possession of the executing authority, and (with additional safeguards) interception of telecommunications,and information on and monitoring of bank accounts."
