The course begins with a short introduction to the evolution of the Unions institutional foundations and history. The Schengen System, the emergence of mutual recognition as an alternative to harmonization, the limitations inherent in EU counter-crime policies and the changes brought about by the Maastricht Treaty (Pillar System), the Amsterdam Treaty (Framework decisions) and the introduction of the Treaty of Lisbon (legal basis for a European Public Prosecutor’s Office).
Next the foundations of judicial cooperation in criminal matters will be outlined, with a comparative look at the traditional forms legal assistance. Thereby we take a closer look at the European Arrest Warrant and the European Investigation Order.
