European Union criminal law as we know it is a product of intensive legal development on both legislative and judicial levels, accompanied by significant changes in the Treaty framework. In this chapter, we will discuss the emergence and nature of harmonisation efforts with an emphasis on especially substantive criminal law.

Harmonisation relates not only to the cornerstone principle of mutual recognition but has a link as well to the debates on increased supranationalism as expressed by ‘Taricco saga’ and the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
