In
2003
,
the
EU
Network
of
Independent
Experts
on
Fundamental
Rights
(
CFR
-
CDF
)
issued
a
document
entitled
“
Opinion
on
the
status
of
illegally
obtained
evidence
in
criminal
procedures
in
the
Member
States
of
the
European
Union
”
.
It
establishes
that
in
general
(
in
respect
of
the
issue
of
admissibility
)
,
national
rules
of
criminal
procedure
are
more
protective
of
the
accused
than
is
required
by
Article
6
§
1
of
the
Convention
.
Only
in
seven
States
(
Austria
,
Denmark
,
Finland
,
France
,
Germany
,
Sweden
and
the
United
Kingdom
)
is
evidence
obtained
in
violation
of
the
right
to
respect
for
private
life
in
principle
admissible
in
criminal
proceedings
,
but
still
in
some
of
those
States
admissibility
is
subject
to
a
balancing
process
.
Understandably
,
the
document
does
not
discuss
the
situation
in
those
countries
which
are
not
members
of
the
European
Union
.
The
document
is
