Abstract

The EIO Directive is the core instrument for gathering evidence in the EU. It streamlined the process of obtaining evidence in criminal matters and imposed strict time limits for the implementation of the procedure. However, despite the efforts of the Member States, there are still significant differences that prevents the alignment of the professionals’ practices and full conformity with the EIO Directive’s principles throughout the EU. The present Chapter offers a glimpse to the difficulties in implementing the Directive.

A joint investigation team (JIT) is an advanced tool used in international cooperation in criminal matters, comprising a legal agreement between competent authorities of two or more States for the purpose of carrying out criminal investigations. JITs are typically made up of prosecutors, law enforcement officials and judges. They are established for a fixed period, between 12 and 24 months on average, that is considered necessary to reach successful conclusions to the investigations.
