Specifically, the essay focuses on the regulations that have been adopted by the countries whose legal systems have been commented on in this book, stressing their merits and limitations and the way such provisions could be modified in order to protect these subjects’ rights. Moreover, the study theorises a possible balance between investigative needs and the safeguard of third parties’ fundamental rights.
