AUC IURIDICA

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Iuridica (AUC Iuridica) is a legal journal published since 1955, which presents longer essays as well as short articles on topics relevant for legal theory and international, European and Czech law. It also publishes works concerning current legislative problems.

Although intended primarily for domestic audience, AUC Iuridica is useful also for foreign experts, who can take advantage of summaries in foreign languages (English, German and French) and key words, which are systematically added to the main articles and essays.

The published articles are subject to peer reviews. If necessary, reviewed texts are sent back to the author for revision.

AUC Iuridica accepts contributions from any contributor on any current legal topic.

The journal is registered in the Czech National Bibliography (kept by the National Library of the Czech Republic) and in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (kept by the American Association of Law Libraries).

The journal is archived in Portico.

abstract

This article explores the possible impact of the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) on international judicial cooperation in criminal matters. The starting point is the clarification that the EPPO is the authority that does not exercise the criminal jurisdiction of the EU, but the criminal jurisdictions of the EU member states bound by Regulation (EU) 2017/1939. It means that not only the relations between the EPPO and the criminal jurisdictions of the EU member states not bound by Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 and between the EPPO and the criminal jurisdictions of non-member states of the EU have the character of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters, but also the internal relations within the EPPO between the criminal jurisdictions exercised by the EPPO. Each of the three different areas of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters is then separately analysed and the analyses are followed by concluding remarks. While the international judicial cooperation in criminal matters between the EPPO and the EU member states not bound by Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 will probably at least remain on the current level of judicial cooperation between the EU member states, the international judicial cooperation in criminal matters between the EPPO and non-member states of the EU is at risk of worsening (compared to the current level of judicial cooperation between the EU member states and non-member states of the EU), depending on the willingness of non-member states of the EU to cooperate with the EPPO as a new actor on the stage. On the other hand, the international judicial cooperation between the EU member states bound by Regulation (EU) 2017/1939, i. e. within the EPPO, might be better than the current level of judicial cooperation between the EU member states, partly due to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2017/1939 (although they are not too innovative) and partly due to the fact that higher level of willingness to cooperate is expected “under one roof” of the EPPO than between the authorities of various EU member states.
