Armonizare legislativă europeană pentru combaterea unor infracțiuni cu dimensiune transfrontalieră

Abstract

The present study aims to outline the normative approach of the European Union when regulating with the scope of harmonizing the criminal law of Member States. To this end, a historical analysis of the evolution of judicial cooperation in criminal matters is needed to explain the current state of affairs. Subsequently, a transversal examination of four directives that establish minimum rules concerning the definition of some criminal offences and sanctions in areas of particularly serious crime with a cross-border dimension resulting from the nature or impact of such offences will be used to identify the common elements which constitute the core of the legislative harmonisation technique.
