To sum up briefly, the book entitled “The Right to Counsel and the Protection of Attorney-Client Privilege in Criminal Proceedings. A Comparative View” should be a must-read for both researchers interested in the current issues relating to the right of counsel in criminal proceedings and practitioners of the judiciary. The research is elaborated on in an interesting and transparent manner. Also inspiring are the conclusions concerning the need for further action on the attorney-client privilege, especially in the sphere of “protection of work-product and electronic files and communications” (p. 71). It would be of scientific value to continue research in this area because of the need to create appropriate foundations for further approximation of the legal orders of EU Member States. From the perspective of the transfer of evidence between Member States, it would be helpful to work out common minimum standards for safeguarding the attorney-client privilege.

To arrive at a good status of all European water bodies is the main objective of the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive (WFD). Since its adoption in 2000, the policy has fundamentally changed the institutional, procedural and organizational structures of Member States' water management, leading to an Europeanization of national legislation and decision-making structures. The case of WFD implementation in Schleswig-Holstein is an example of the policy's highly innovative governance architecture that unfortunately is not (yet) able to take that one last hurdle: to improve water quality and establish a good water status across EU Member States by 2015 or 2027.

Europe 2020 Strategy highlights bioeconomy as a key element for smart and green growth in Europe. Bioeconomy in this case includes agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and pulp and paper production, parts of chemical, biotechnological and energy industries and plays an important role in the EU’s economy. The growth of key industries of bioeconomy – agriculture and forestry – highly depends on an efficient and productive use of land as a production resource. The overall aim of this paper is to evaluate opportunities for development of the main sectors of bioeconomy (agriculture and forestry) in the EU based on the available resources of land. To achieve this aim, several methods were used – monographic, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, statistical analysis methods. The findings show that it is possible to improve the use of land in the EU Member States. If all the Member States reached the average EU level, agricultural products worth EUR 77 bln would be annually additionally produced, which is 19 % more than in 2014, and an extra 5 billion m3 volume of forest growing stock would be gained, which is 20 % more than in 2010.
