Multi-aspect initiative to improve cross-border videoconferencing

The project aimed to promote the practical use of, and to share best practice on the organisational, technical and legal aspects of, cross-border videoconferencing in order to help improve the overall functioning of e-Justice systems in Member States and at European level. The project was coordinated by the Austrian Ministry of Justice. The CCBE’s expertise in criminal and civil law allowed it to identify cases that benefit from cross-border video-conferencing, and the CCBE seeked to ensure compliance with procedural rights and duties of the parties.

The project ended in September 2016.
