Questions referred
1. |
Are Articles 1(2), 2(1) and 8 of Directive 2010/64/EU (1) to be interpreted as precluding a court order that requires, under Paragraph 184 of the German Law on the Judicial System, accused persons to bring an appeal only in the language of the court, here in German, in order for it to be effective? |
2. |
Are Articles 2, 3(1)(c), 6(1) and 6(3) of Directive 2012/13/EU (2) to be interpreted as precluding the accused from being required to appoint a person authorised to accept service, where the period for bringing an appeal begins to run upon service on the person authorised and ultimately it is irrelevant whether the accused is at all aware of the offence of which he is accused? |
