EUROPEAN LEGAL FRAMEWORK PARTICULARITIES OF JUDICIAL COOPERATION IN CRIMINAL MATTERS

Summary/Abstract: The transnational character of crime requires the creation of a common criminal policy in the EU, because the differentiated definition of certain crimes compromises the activity of judicial cooperation between states. The objective is to create a common European framework for combating crime and terrorism in order to guarantee its citizens a high level of protection and to promote international cooperation in this field. The main argument in favor of harmonizing the legal framework has always been that criminals can take advantage of differences between various criminal systems to escape the rigor of law, more precisely, it especially refers to the difficulties faced by authorities when criminal offenders plan crimes in a certain country and then commit them in another country or when they commit crimes in a certain country and then seek refuge in another country.
