Nu godkender vi Kommissionens forslag om at indføre et nyt system, på grundlag af hvilket medlemsstaterne i strafferetlige procedurer vil kunne tage hensyn til tidligere domme af den pågældende person, som er afsagt i en anden EU-medlemsstat.
– Mr President, Mr Vice-President of the Commission, ladies and gentlemen, over the last seven years we have witnessed the development of tools, such as the European arrest warrant or the transfer of prisoners, which are designed to strengthen mutual confidence between the national judicial authorities and the development of a policy leading to the convergence of criminal law.
