Abstract

This paper concerns a general examination of the European legislative act regulating the activity of obtaining evidence for their use in criminal proceedings, its importance resulting from the novelty that it represents. The research may be useful both to Romanian and European judicial authorities with responsibilities for judicial cooperation in criminal matters and also to theorists that examine the complex cooperation system at EU level. The research results, the essential contribution, its originality consist of the critical general examination of the concerned normative act, and also the proposals to amend and supplement some provisions which may cause dysfunctions in practice.
