Fair Trials welcomes the search for ways to make criminal justice systems more accessible through digitalisation. We believe that digitalisation presents a real opportunity not only to promote cooperation between law enforcement agencies but also to better implement existing EU standards on defence rights in cross-border proceedings.

This is also noted in the document 'Digitalisation of justice in the European Union - A toolbox of opportunities'. A conscious decision should be made on which one EU strives for.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
