Abstract
This paper analyses recent and future developments in judicial cooperation in criminal matters through the prism of the Report of the Justice Future Group. This Report was presented in July 2008 and is the basis for discussion for the new multi-annual programme and its visions for the Area of Freedom Security and Justice for the years 2010–2014. The article inter alia underlines the importance that mutual recognition and mutual trust in Europe is supported by laws that justify such trust and the need to provide common minimum standards to protect the rights of citizens when subjected to a criminal investigation. When doing so there is a need to take into account the difference in the existing protection in criminal procedure in member states in civil and common law countries. The article also analyses some recent initiatives in the field of judicial cooperation in criminal law, such as the EEW and E-justice and provides several examples of potential future measures that could be taken in the sphere of criminal law.
