"With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the basis was created for the development of criminal law as part of EU Community law, which, in the past, was the exclusive competence of Member States. Despite the importance of this new provision, I would raise concerns over the risk that a raft of new EU initiatives in the field of criminal law could be an excessive burden for national administrations. Following the recent economic crisis, competent national authorities have fewer financial resources and, as such, there is an increased risk that the adoption of new legislation may not only fail to result in a better application of criminal law, but may also compromise the credibility and efficiency of EU criminal law to the obvious detriment of EU citizens. In my opinion, the European Union should adopt an extremely cautious approach to developing or amending criminal law. In addition, there must be agreement between the EU institutions regarding the principles and working methods to be applied. In order to facilitate cooperation in the future, I would argue that it is essential that the European institutions agree on some kind of common framework, which would include a set of principles governing any criminal law instrument."@en1
