Recognition and enforcement of the European protection order in the Romanian law. Some critical opinions. De lege ferenda proposals

Abstract

The current study examines the provisions of Law no. 151/2016 regarding the competences and concrete actions of the Romanian judicial authorities for the recognition and enforcement of a European protection order, sent for execution by a competent authority of another Member State. The novelty is the conducted examination, the critical opinions and de lege ferenda proposals. The paper is a continuation of other papers that relate to the complex activity of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters and the involvement of the Romanian legislator in transposing into the national law of the European legal instruments in the field. Given its structure and the way in which it has been designed, the paper can be useful to academics, practitioners in the field and to the Romanian legislator in terms of completion and modification of the legislative act under examination.
