Established in 2017 through a regulation adopted via enhanced cooperation, it followed an unsuccessful attempt to reach unanimity in the Council on a 2013 Commission proposal.

In June 2023, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU adopted two legal acts – a regulation and a directive – on electronic evidence in criminal matters. In the course of the legislative procedure, the two acts drew broad, often critical comments from data protection bodies, civil society and industry stakeholders. The new rules will allow law enforcement and judicial authorities to directly request (or temporarily secure) electronic data needed for investigating and prosecuting crime from ...

The prohibition of drug-related activities other than those performed for medical or scientific purposes is the defining feature of the international drug control system. Set up by the United Nations (UN), this system is composed of three complementary conventions, to which all EU Member ...

Le cripto-attività vanno al di là delle normative esistenti e richiedono una legislazione che affronti i vari rischi che comportano.

Durante la tornata di aprile il Parlamento ...
