"If a judicial area exists in the European Union, even if only partially, as is currently the case, then it is normal, right and advisable for it to develop in the field of criminal law in particular, in order to avoid the inconsistencies we are seeing and to provide Member States and the EU with guidelines aimed at harmonisation. The Commission’s November 2011 document on criminal policy is excellent in my opinion, as is the study by Parliament on harmonisation. The subject is a sensitive one and directly affects the sovereignty of the Member States. However, there is no doubt that it is necessary to manage this sovereignty jointly in certain areas, albeit with great care and sensitivity. In customs, for example, it is useful for the functioning of the internal market and its users. In criminal law, it would probably avoid certain anomalies that affect hundreds of citizens who are of a different nationality from the state in which it is applied in a non-uniform way: for example, issuing European arrest warrants (designed to combat terrorism) against citizens who move to Germany with their children, thereby automatically changing a civil procedure into a criminal procedure. If the European approach to criminal law will help eliminate these aberrations, it will be a praiseworthy legal achievement."@en1
