Welcome to the recorded round table discussion on "The European Investigation Order: Challenges to Fundamental Rights and Sovereignty in the Digital Age." This event was part of the LIVE_FOR project by DG Justice, focusing on the critical issues surrounding cross-border access to electronic evidence in criminal investigations.

In today’s digital landscape, the extensive use of electronic communications—such as webmail, messaging services, and social media—has transformed how criminal investigations are conducted. However, the reliance on electronic evidence (e-evidence) presents unique challenges, especially when service providers and their infrastructures operate outside the jurisdiction of the investigating Member State.

During this round table, we explored four major topics:
- The impact of the European Investigation Order (EIO) on law enforcement
- Data protection and privacy concerns related to e-evidence
- The rights of victims in the digital age
- Issues of sovereignty in cross-border judicial cooperation

Panelists include experts from various fields, sharing insights and perspectives on these pressing matters. Join us as we delve into the complexities of accessing digital evidence in today's interconnected world.
