The Committee's report examines two significant developments in the respective competences of the Member States and the European Community in relation to criminal law. Firstly, it considers the implications of Case C-176/03 Commission v Council and how far the European Court of Justice in its decision of September 2005 has gone in attributing competence in criminal law to the Community. Secondly, it looks at the Commission's suggestion (published on 10 May 2006) that the passerelle (bridge) provision contained in Article 42 of the EU Treaty be used to enable police and judicial co-operation in criminal matters to be dealt with under the EC Treaty, with consequentially increased roles for the Commission, the European Parliament and the Court of Justice. |
