European Protection Order Directive 2011/99/EU

Tanulmány 28-09-2017

Directive 2011/99/EU on the European Protection Order establishes a mechanism for the mutual recognition of protection measures for victims of crime. This study examines the implementation of the Directive and analyses the practices of the Member States in this area. It identifies specific challenges and deficiencies that help to explain why this EU instrument is very rarely used. The assessment has been produced to support the implementation report being prepared on the subject by the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality.
