The ‘Transnational Training Workshop’, involving legal practitioners from EU Member States, will take place in the framework of the Facilex Project (Facilitating Mutual Recognition: Analytics and Capacity Building Information Legal Explainable Tool to Strengthen Cooperation in the Criminal Matter). For more details about the project, please visit the webpage.
This workshop aims to improve knowledge on horizontal harmonisation relating to three EU mutual recognition instruments: European Arrest Warrant, European Investigation Order, Reg. 1805/2018 on the mutual recognition of freezing and confiscation orders.
To achieve these objectives, a selection of the most relevant issues revolving around the lack of judicial harmonization will be analysed during the Transnational Training Workshop. It will be devoted to the analysis of the most relevant-case law surrounding the three EU mutual recognition systems with special focus on effective judicial protection, procedural rights, and fundamental rights protection.
Each day will be split in two parts: in the first part, three renowned practitioners and lecturers will deliver distinguished lectures; in the second part, practical sessions involving case analysis and discussion on hypotheticals will be facilitated by working groups activities.
In particular, legal analysis of case studies will be conveyed through the explanatory use of Facilex Platform (available from Spring 2024) that provides a database of EU and national legislation and case-law as well as an automated legal advice tool aimed at customizing legal assessment on available legal remedies. The platform will build upon an already existing advisory tool, focused on the procedural rights of defendants, which can be already freely accessed at this link.
