EU Commission communication: An area of freedom, security and
justice serving the citizen
This joint position, drafted by the Law Societies Brussels
Office, refers to the EU Commission communication above and the EU
presidency's Roadmap on procedural rights of 1 July. The
paper, which was endorsed by the Society's Criminal Law Committee,
sets out a vision for the type of area of freedom, security and
justice that would bring real benefit for individuals in Europe
from 2010 to 2014 in relation to criminal matters including
procedural rights.
