Abstract
Mutual recognition or judicial cooperation should be viewed as an opportunity to grant justice trough a fair trial.
Despite this reasonable statement, the apparent scope of the EIO seems to permit the gathering of evidence (only for the purpose of Prosecutors and Police investigators) avoiding even the minimum common standard of fairness within the EU. The different approaches by Member States, in a national perspective, and the most controversial issues are pointed out in this paper, reaching the conclusion that the EIO could be detrimental to defence right and be defined as another lost chance.
