The need for EU action on pre-trial detention, discrimination and procedural safeguards

This webinar addresses one of the main obstacles to the use of alternative
instruments in the pre-trial stage of the proceedings: the overreliance on detention in cross-border proceedings and the overuse of pre-trial detention for non-nationals or non-residents.

This webinar explores how to overcome such discrimination and the automatic recourse to pre-trial detention.
