| dc.description.abstract | The
goal
of
the
thesis
is
to
explore
how
a
concept
of
fair
criminal
evidence
in
Europe
can
be
utilised
by
the
EU
in
its
further
steps
of
integration
in
the
area
of
European
Criminal
Law.
The
answer
to
this
question
presupposes
that
there
is
indeed
such
a
concept
and
the
exploration
can
be
further
split
in
two
questions.
Which
are
the
characteristics
of
a
concept
on
evidential
fairness
in
Europe?
Which
are
the
applications
of
this
concept
in
EU
Criminal
Law?
As
far
as
the
characteristics
of
such
a
concept
are
concerned,
it
is
argued
that
fairness
in
evidential
matters
in
a
European
level
comes
into
existence
in
the
realm
of
the
Council
of
Europe.
Article
6
of
the
European
Convention
on
Human
Rights
is
presented
as
evidence-‐relevant,
while
the
context
of
Strasbourg’s
case
law
is
proposed
as
the
right
platform
for
finding
the
material
needed
for
the
distillation
of
the
principles
of
evidential
fairness.
In
relation
to
the
second
question,
the
interest
moves
into
the
European
Union
and
the
evidential
matters
in
the
context
of
judicial
cooperation
in
criminal
matters.
More
specifically,
it
is
discussed
how
the
findings
about
a
fair
criminal
evidence
concept
apply
to
the
judicial
cooperation
in
criminal
evidence
in
EU
level.
By
the
term
‘applying’
it
is
meant
the
testing
of
two
different
conditions;
firstly,
if
the
principles
adopted
are
already
followed
in
practice,
and
to
what
extent,
and
secondly,
how
they
can
improve
and
adjust
the
existing
system.
In
this
process
the
key
role
of
mutual
recognition’s
character
is
demonstrated
and
particular
amendments
to
existing
and
future
legislative
instruments
such
as
the
European
Evidence
Warrant
and
the
European
Investigation
Order
are
proposed. | en_US |
