Abstract

Procedural measures to obtain and preserve electronic evidence are increasingly important for the purposes of criminal investigation and prosecution across the European Union. If we tale into account that electronic data is often stored outside the investigating State, it is easy to understand the huge problem that gathering of these data, as evidence can generate. This study analyzes the recently approved legal instruments, designed to solve these problems: the Directive and the Regulation on European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders.
