From the National Public Prosecutor's Office to the European Public Prosecutor's Office

Summary/Abstract: In a European Union trying to establish a common market, the differences between the legal systems of the Member States can be potentially damaging; the economic integration must be followed by a legal integration, "at least to one point". Despite the disputes which place the nature of criminal law in the area of the core national sovereignty, the regulation of the European Public Prosecutor's Office demonstrates that it becomes more and more difficult to identify in this area issues that would not fall within the regulatory competence at the European Union level. The present study illustrates developments, current concerns and institutional perspectives determined by the regulation and the necessity to operationalize the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
