On 13 October 2016, the Council of the European Union gave its final approval to the directive on the right to legal aid for individuals suspected or accused of a criminal offence and for those subject to a European arrest warrant. That directive was the last legal text foreseen as part the road map for fortifying procedural rights of suspected or accused citizens in criminal proceedings which had been adopted by the Council in November 2009. |
