5 FD 2003/577/JHA on freezing orders 2003 FD deals with only a small part of international cooperation with respect to evidence gathering 2003 FD has a limited scope to provisional measures `prevent the destruction, transformation, moving, transfer or disposal of evidence` 2003 FD has to be accompanied with a request to transfer the evidence transfer of evidence still subject to MLA eventually two procedures are needed - one MR for freezing and one MLA for transferring the evidence 1959 European Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters traditional mechanism of mutual legal assistance, requests for the transfer of evidence will be executed according to the laws of the requested country (letters of rogatory) grounds of refusal + any Contracting Party may, by way of a declaration, reserve the right to make the execution of letters of rogatory concerning search and seizure dependent on one or more of the following conditions - offence is punishable in both the requesting and requested countries (double criminality) - offence is an extraditable offence in the requested country - execution of the letters rogatory is in accordance of the law of the requested country centralized system, transfer of requests through central authorities political interference possible
6 1990 Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement limits the possibility to use the reservations made available under the 1959 Convention rogatory letters for coercive measures (search and seizure) can only be refused when the following conditions are not fulfilled - letters rogatory does not meet the minimum requirements of maximum penalties - execution would not be consistent with the law of the requested state - first careful step to abolish political interference in the execution of MLA requests 2000 European Mutual Assistance Convention broad scope, covers all types of evidence general provision for mutual assistance detailed provisions on specific measures (restitution, temporary transfer of persons held in custody for purpose of investigations, interception of telecommunications etc.) the requested MS shall comply with the formalities and procedures expressly indicated by the requesting MS, unless otherwise provided direct system, requests are transferred directly to the judicial authorities of the MS

10 Territoriality ground for refusal refusing the execution of the EEW when the executing MS itself is competent to start legal proceedings crime was committed on the territory wholly or for a major part on the territory or a place equivalent to the territory of the executing state crime was committed outside the territory of the issuing MS and the law of the executing MS does not permit legal proceedings to be taken in respect of such offences Proportionality EEW only to be issue dif the issuing authority is satisfied that obtaining the objects, documents or data sought is necessary and proportionate for the purpose of proceedings the objects, documents or data can be obtained under the law of the issuing State in a comparable case if they were available on the territory of the issuing State, even though different procedural measures might be used these conditions shall be assessed only in the issuing State in each case.
