Questions referred







1.


Do Articles 1(1), 6(1)(a) and 24(1), second subparagraph, of Directive 2014/41 (1) permit legislation of a Member State according to which a person residing in a different Member State may, without a European investigation order being issued, participate by videoconference, as an accused person, in judicial proceedings, where the accused person is not being heard in that phase of the proceedings, that is to say, where no evidence is being gathered, provided the person directing the proceedings in the Member State in which the case is being tried is able, by technical means, to verify the identity of the person in the other Member State and provided that person’s rights of the defence and assistance by an interpreter are ensured?










2.


If the answer to the first question is in the affirmative, could the consent of the person who is to be heard constitute an independent or supplementary criterion or prerequisite for that person to participate by videoconference in the judicial proceedings in question, where no evidence is being gathered in that phase of the proceedings, if the person directing the proceedings in the Member State in which the case is being tried is able, by technical means, to verify the identity of the person who is in the other Member State and provided that person’s rights of the defence and assistance by an interpreter are ensured?
