"With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the pillar structure was abandoned and the basis was created for the development of criminal law as part of EU Community law.
However, it is quite clear that the EU did not develop a separate space for criminal law provisions. Such provisions can be found not only in instruments relating to justice, but also in those relating to home affairs.
This own-initiative report invites the Commission to guarantee a high-quality and coherent EU approach on criminal law. In light of this, the Commission has created an inter-service coordination group on criminal law. In his report, Cornelis de Jong calls for a Commissioner in charge of criminal law matters to be appointed.
Moreover, the report draws attention to the importance of mutual recognition, the harmonisation of protection rules and the respect for the principle of the presumption of innocence.
Finally, it points out that key areas of criminal law must be left to the Member States."@en1
