4. Conclusion
The Council declared the concept of EFSA 2020 to ensure the
equivalence of professional forensic examinations. It aims at
working out and accepting European forensic science standards.
These will be instrumental for scientists and criminal investigators
in guiding them with the standard procedures for carrying out such
examinations. Because national legislations are basically so
different, a worldwide system to interrogate DNA profiles from
criminal justice databases seems currently a very distant project
[10]. To achieve further, it is essential for EU institutions and
organizations to be thorough and cautious. It will be a hard task to
realise the whole concept by 2020. Even so, it is obvious that the
accreditation of forensic DNA laboratories is a corner stone of the
above mentioned objectives.
