"Mr President, with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the basis was created for the development of criminal law as part of Community law.
Although the mutual recognition of the harmonisation of legislation protecting the principle of the presumption of innocence is important, it is worth emphasising that legislation has to be clear-cut and easily understandable so that it becomes clear to all whether acts amount to criminal offences or not. This especially holds true for directives, since these have to be transposed into national law. Indeed, any lack of clarity could give rise to diverging interpretations of the law.
I therefore believe that close collaboration between the EU institutions as to the principles and methods to be adopted is essential in order to achieve a coherent, high-quality EU strategy on criminal law."@en1
