".
It is regrettable that the EP has not taken the opinion of its Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market and rejected this initiative from the European Commission.
This proposal falls in line with the federalist approach, which seeks to remove fundamental powers from the Member States, powers that go to the heart of their sovereignty. This would jeopardise their citizens’ rights, guarantees and freedoms.
The European Evidence Warrant is a ‘relative’ of the European arrest warrant, which was approved, let us remember, on the pretext of ‘combating terrorism’.
As has been stated, the European Commission’s main aim is to replace current legal assistance mechanisms, based on international conventions, with a system of mutual recognition, requiring a judgment in one Member State to be recognised directly, without it having to be converted into a national judgment.
As has been pointed out, the process is moving ahead without any safeguards being provided to protect the rights of the citizens of each State because, if the prospect of cooperation between States is jeopardised, the guarantees that are safeguarded at this level are also in danger.
It is also to be regretted that amendments have been rejected seeking to ensure compliance with rights, guarantees and freedoms enshrined under the sovereignty of each people in each State."@en1
