The implementation of European Union directives in the field of criminal procedure represents a crucial process for harmonizing national legislation and strengthening a European area of justice. This article analyzes the legal foundations of transposing directives into domestic law, the manner of their integration into Romanian criminal procedural legislation, the practical obstacles encountered, as well as the effects on international judicial cooperation and the protection of fundamental rights. This process aims to ensure minimum procedural safeguards for individuals involved in criminal proceedings, particularly for suspects and defendants, in the spirit of protecting fundamental rights.
