The resistance towards alternative measures to European Arrest Warrants for prosecution

This webinar focuses on the obstacles to the use of the European Supervision Order (ESO) and the European Investigation Order (EIO) as alternative instruments to the EAW and pre-trial detention. Why are states reluctant to implement these instruments? Why are they still largely ignored by practitioners?
The discussion also aims to identify any promising practices in the use of ESOs and EIOs, notably with regard to the current plans to digitalise justice across Europe.
