Presumption of innocence and right to be present at trial
This procedure aims to enhance the presumption of innocence and the right to be present during criminal trials across the EU. It seeks to ensure fair legal processes and protect fundamental rights for individuals facing criminal charges.
The changes will affect individuals involved in criminal proceedings within EU member states, potentially impacting judicial procedures and the rights of defendants. This aims to harmonize legal standards and improve trust in the justice system.
