Summary:

This book explores the practice of transferring criminal proceedings between judicial authorities within the European Union. It highlights the challenges and limitations of the current framework and presents findings from the TROP research project, funded by the European Commission. The study identifies the absence of a specific legal instrument for the process, outlines the difficulties faced by judicial authorities, and proposes solutions for improving the legal framework. The intended audience includes policymakers, legal scholars, and practitioners involved in judicial cooperation within the EU. The authors aim to contribute to the development of a comprehensive legal instrument to enhance judicial cooperation and the effective prosecution of criminal cases across Member States.
