The ECBA is going places and this time we hit the wonderful "diamond“city of Antwerp. Indeed we started our conference at the Diamantmuseum next to the Antwerp Zoo.
On Saturday our main theme was “How to bring justice into evidence gathering?” and our chairman Holger Matt opened the event by giving a short overview about the actual developments as well as the future perspective regarding procedural safeguards on the European level.
