European Criminal Justice Project (ECJP): Towards Cross-Border Solutions to Transnational Problems

Activities:

• Holding an initial planning meeting in the first months with the key collaborators to analyse the implementation of European standards in the domestic law and practice of each key country.
• Production of a study detailing the findings of the team.
• Holding one 2-day workshop in each key country for local judges, other relevant practitioners, practitioners from near neighbours and the national judge(s) from the ECtHR. The workshops are designed to promote awareness of the applicable European standards based on the above mentioned study and to generate dialogue between practitioners of the 4 key states and their near EU neighbours. Including neighbouring states creates a broader perspective as well as bringing together a wider European group of those who work on cross-border criminal issues to facilitate future collaboration.
• Production of a publication on cross-border cooperation in translational crimes in the four partner countries: European Cross Border Justice: A Case Study of the EAW
