In view of the fact that this ruling, which applies retroactively, has made it virtually impossible for trials to be conducted on an adversarial basis (a principle that safeguards the right of the accused to a proper defence, and is sanctioned by Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights) can the Council prevail upon the Italian Government to restore this principle which is one of the fundamental components of a fair trial?"
