Subject: According to the Court, Directive 2014/41/EU regarding the European Investigation Order in criminal matters, read in conjunction with Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, precludes legislation of a Member State which has issued a European investigation order that does not provide for any legal remedy against the issuing of a European investigation order, the purpose of which is the carrying out of searches and seizures as well as the hearing of a witness by videoconference. Therefore, the Court affirmed that EU Law precludes the issuing, by the competent authority of a Member State, of a European investigation order, the purpose of which is the carrying out of searches and seizures as well as the hearing of a witness by videoconference, where the legislation of that Member State does not provide any legal remedy against the issuing of such a European investigation order
