In this paper we have conducted a general examination of the instruments governing the European institution of the European Evidence Warrant, viewed as a new form of judicial cooperation in criminal matters between Member States of the European Union.
The novelty consists of the conducted examination, the critical opinions and proposals de lege ferenda.
The paper continues the scientific research achieved by publishing other studies and articles in some journals or proceedings of international or national conferences, which were examined by other European legal instruments regulating different forms of judicial cooperation in criminal matters or different forms of legal assistance.
The work can be useful both to academics and practitioners, to the Romanian or European legislator with specific responsibilities in the area of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
