Resumen de Improving access to electronic evidence: the European normative struggle
This paper assesses the multiple initiatives developed currently in Europe to facilitate the cross-border access of law enforcement authorities to electronic evidence, which is every day more necessary to fight crime. It is a challenge because it is imperative to develop effective mechanisms without sacrificing the human rights safeguards. Specifically, this paper studies the European Commission proposal of European production and preservation orders, the parallel efforts of the Council of Europe on the negotiation of an Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime to facilitate the access to electronic evidence, and finally the interaction of the European Union Law with the United States Cloud Act.
