The INCEPT project (Supporting cross-border judicial cooperation in cases related to INterCEPTion of telecommunications, JUST-2024-JCOO 101192923) has been officially launched with a successful online kick-off meeting in february, marking the beginning of an important initiative to improve judicial cooperation in Europe in the area of telecommunications interception.
INCEPT focuses on improving the implementation of the European Investigation Order (EIO), particularly in the context of interception of telecommunications. By developing a comprehensive methodology and manual, the project will identify existing gaps and best practices, ensuring both theoretical clarity and practical applicability for legal practitioners.
The project will use a variety of research methods and analytical approaches to assess current challenges in judicial cooperation. Unlike previous initiatives, INCEPT will have a strong focus on telecommunications interception, an increasingly critical area for cross-border investigations.
A key component of INCEPT is capacity building, with training activities for judges, prosecutors, investigators and legal practitioners, including defence lawyers. These activities will take place at both national and international levels and will equip legal practitioners with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage complex EIO-related proceedings.
ZRS Koper will play a crucial role in research and data analysis, focusing on data collection and analysis to develop a methodology. This methodology will combine literature and case law analysis (both at national and EU level) to identify current gaps and best practices in the implementation of the EIO. Each partner will be responsible for conducting research at the national level, while ZRS Koper will coordinate the overall process and review the collected data at the European level to ensure a comprehensive and coherent analysis.
By integrating these efforts, INCEPT aims to strengthen judicial cooperation and promote the effective and admissible use of evidence gathered through the EIO. This will ultimately contribute to a more seamless and legally sound framework for cross-border investigations in Europe.
