• Resumen

  • As a core requirement of the fundamental right to a fair trial, judicial independence is of fundamental importance to ensure the proper conduct of criminal procedure and to uphold the rule of law. In this respect and despite their distinctive status, it is essential that national judges and prosecutors can act without influence during their mission. The requirement of independence has recently received increasing attention at EU level, notably in the context of the European Arrest Warrant mechanism following a series of preliminary rulings. This Article analyses the requirement of independence in the light of recent Court of justice rulings concerning judges and prosecutors, two key players in the criminal procedural law and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
