Recital 14
(14) Since confidentiality of communication between a suspect or accused person and their lawyer is key to ensuring the effective exercise of the rights of the defence, Member States should be required to uphold and safeguard the confidentiality of meetings between the lawyer and the client and of any other form of communication permitted under national law. CExceptions to the confidentiality rule should not be subject to any exception; be made only on the basis of strict legal criteria.

Article 7
Member States shall ensure that the confidentiality of meetings between the suspect or accused persona person to whom Article 2 applies and his lawyer is guaranteed. They shall also ensure the confidentiality of correspondence, telephone conversations and other forms of communication permitted under national law between the suspect or accused person and his lawyer. On the basis of instructions from the competent judicial authority, exceptions to the principle of confidentiality shall be considered only if there are grounds for suspecting that the lawyer could be implicated in the offences committed by the accused person or when this is necessary to avert a present danger to a person’s life or freedom.
