In Search of Electronic Evidence – European Production Order and Other Instruments for International Obtaining of Data for Criminal Proceedings

Summary/Abstract: In July 2023, after more than five years of negotiations, the EU adopted the Regulation on European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders for electronic evidence. The regulation introduces a new paradigm for European cooperation in criminal matters, allowing authorities in one Member State to issue a direct binding order to a service provider in another Member State to produce data, in principle without the involvement of the latter’s authorities. This solution, not without controversy, responds to the increasingly pressing need for effective means of obtaining electronic data for criminal proceedings. The purpose of the article is to outline why the collection of electronic evidence poses several legal and practical problems, how they have been attempted to be dealt with and to analyse the new regulation and its key implications.
