abstract
The establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice was one of the main objectives of the Treaty of Amsterdam. Measures to harmonize criminal law as well as judicial cooperation in criminal manners are indivisible part of this objective. Conclusions of the European Council meeting at Tampere (1999) stipulated which measures are needed so as to guarantee the real mutual recognition of judicial decisions in criminal matters, including the pretrial decisions, and to guarantee the free circulation of criminal evidence. The Corpus Juris study (1997) had introduced a number of guiding principles in relation to the protection of the financial interests of the European Union within the framework of the European Judicial Space, including the European Public Prosecutor including the principles for protection of fundamental rights and freedoms within criminal procedure. The Corpus Juris study 2000 aims to analyse the feasibility of the Corpus Juris in relation to the legislation of the Member States and also to analyse the horizontal and vertical cooperation in the Member States. The study was carried out in 1998–1999 upon the request of the European Parliament and the Anti-Fraud Office, OLAF, by researchers from the Association of European Lawyers for the Protection of the Financial Interests of the European Union not only from old member states, but also from so called candidate countries. In order to achieve many important proposals and comments, objections etc. after old version of the Corpus Juris, they were developed following guiding principles often enshrined in the Constitutions of the member states and resulting from cases-law of the European Court of Justice and the European Court for Human Rights.
