The e-Evidence Regulation (eER) allows law enforcement authorities (e.g. national police) and judicial authorities to directly request service providers based in other EU countries to provide e-evidence in the context of criminal proceedings (both in the investigatory and trial phases).
Our new Cullen International cheat sheet provides an overview of the architecture of the eER, including procedural workflows. The regulation introduces two measures through which authorities can request e-evidence (i.e. production orders and preservation orders). It also sets the conditions under which production and preservation orders can be issued by the relevant authority.
Clients of our European Digital Economy service, can also access the Cheat Sheet directly on our client portal via "Access the full content".
