Criminal Law (European Union)
Increasingly, there is legislation in substantive criminal law at the level of the European Union (also European criminal law, according to another view only “Europeanisation of criminal law”). This legal matter describes "a legal matter of its own, which includes both Union law relevant to criminal law, [...] international law and the national criminal law influenced by it."
The Treaty of Lisbon integrates criminal law cooperation into the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Up to now, Treaty establishing the European Community (EGV)). Since legislation, with a few exceptions , is to be carried out in the ordinary legislative process , the legislative process is simplified.
The competence of the European Union is limited to particularly serious crime with a cross-border dimension. In addition, there is legislative competence if this is essential for the effective implementation of Union policy in policy fields in which harmonization measures have been carried out ( Art. 83 TFEU) and with regard to the creation of a European Public Prosecutor to protect the Union's financial interests ( Art. 86 TFEU).
