This paper deals with the models of international cooperation on seizure and confiscation defined in two Council of Europe Conventions, in Regulation (EU) 2018/1805, and in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement of 24 December 2020. After describing each model of cooperation and its functioning schemes, the paper focuses on the provisions concerning fundamental rights, with the purpose to assess how the protection of fundamental rights takes place under each scheme and what critical issues can be identified. For what concerns the future relationship between the EU and the UK, it is argued in the light of the Petruhhin case-law that, notwithstanding its withdrawal from the Union, the United Kingdom will still have to comply with the standards of protection of rights as defined under EU law and as interpreted by the Court of Justice if it wants to continue its cooperation with the Member States.
Il presente scritto prende in considerazione i modelli di cooperazione internazionale in materia di sequestro e confisca definiti in due Convenzioni del Consiglio d’Europa, nel regolamento (UE) 2018/1805 e nell’accordo sugli scambi commerciali e la cooperazione del 24 dicembre 2020. Chiariti ciascun modello e i relativi schemi di funzionamento, viene posta attenzione alle previsioni concernenti i diritti fondamentali, in modo da stabilire come la tutela di questi abbia luogo e quali criticità siano ravvisabili. Con specifico riferimento ai futuri rapporti tra Unione europea e Regno Unito, si sostiene, alla luce della giurisprudenza Petruhhin, che il Regno Unito, nonostante il suo recesso dall’Unione, dovrà comunque conformarsi agli standard di protezione dei diritti come definiti nel diritto dell’Unione e come interpretati dalla Corte di giustizia, se vorrà cooperare con gli Stati membri.

Abstract
This paper deals with the models of international cooperation on seizure and confiscation defined in two Council of Europe Conventions, in Regulation (EU) 2018/1805, and in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement of 24 December 2020. After describing each model of cooperation and its functioning schemes, the paper focuses on the provisions concerning fundamental rights, with the purpose to assess how the protection of fundamental rights takes place under each scheme and what critical issues can be identified. For what concerns the future relationship between the EU and the UK, it is argued in the light of the Petruhhin case-law that, notwithstanding its withdrawal from the Union, the United Kingdom will still have to comply with the standards of protection of rights as defined under EU law and as interpreted by the Court of Justice if it wants to continue its cooperation with the Member States.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
