Book Description
"The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty has increased the importance of fundamental rights, attributing the same legal value to the CFR as the EU treaties, and opening up the possibility of the EU's accession to the ECHR. In this context, this book analyses whether the current level of fundamental rights protection in leniency procedures falls within the parameters of accepted ECHR standards. This book demonstrates that the leniency procedure is not fully compatible with fundamental rights and general principles, and proposes a new programme, which can reconcile the public interest in an effective and efficient leniency programme with the protection of the fundamental rights of the parties involved in the procedure."--
