The Council of the European Union adopted a frame resolution on the European evidence warrant taking into account the increase of the cross-border crimes at the borders of the European Union and on the other hand, the terrorist attacks from USA in 2002, from Spain in 2004 and from the United Kingdom in 2005, which proved the need of an improvement of the mutual judicial assistance.
