Court of Justice 13 February 2025, C-635/23 (WBS GmbH v Generalstaatsanwaltschaft Berlin.)

Also known as

The Advocate General's opinion addresses whether an administrative authority, which lacks the competence to order investigative measures under national law, can issue a European Investigation Order (EIO) under Directive 2014/41/EU. The opinion suggests that such an authority may still be classified as an 'issuing authority' if the investigative measures are validated by a judicial authority, even if the measures are reserved for judicial authorities in domestic cases. This interpretation aims to facilitate judicial cooperation and uphold the principle of mutual recognition among EU Member States.AI
