While the judicial authorities have rigorous procedure codes, and the legislative authority has regulations for the development and adoption of laws, the public administration authorities in general and local government in particular „are still suffering in this respect”. To fill the „gap” that exists in some /partial sides of the administrative procedure, since the Administrative Procedure Code has not been yet adopted, in this study the authors intended (invoking the tangent jurisprudence) to contribute to the elucidation of the two cases (of many) in a segment in which positive law is quite vague, thus allowing an inconsistent practice, sometimes even arbitrary. -
The study aims to analyze, as indicated by the title itself, the controversies generated by the implementation of the institution known in practice as „simplified trial procedure in case of acknowledgement of guilt”. The analysis is structured in two sections. The first section analyzes the controversies, already debated by the Constitutional Court, regarding the possibility of enforcing the provisions of art. 3201 of the Code of criminal procedure in case of temporary situations (namely the defendants brought to trial under the ancient laws, but who have surpassed the procedural moment of commencement of forensic investigation) and the requirements necessary for the dismissal of the enforcement request of simplified procedure. The second section describes the controversies to be debated, relative to the possibility of pronouncement of an acquittal order or suspension of the criminal trial in case of simplified procedure, as well as the possibility of removing these provisions in the means of appeal. The study pleads for a legislative intervention which should amend the current editorial content of art. 3201 by such manner so that the judge is no longer limited textually only at the pronouncement of the conviction order. Otherwise, the trial in case of acknowledgement of guilt could easily concede its position to conviction in case of acknowledgement of guilt.

Starting from the real premise of the existence of certain controversies regarding the prosecutor’s seat, role, functions and competencies in the internal legal system, the author brings to debate the special situation of the prosecutor, protected, under exceptional provisions, by the constraints of the hierarchical subordination specific to the organization of the Public Ministry. During the performance of his procedural functions, regulated under art. 316 of the Code of criminal procedure, the prosecutor can claim a status similar to the judge’s. The rules acknowledging his freedom of action and procedural expression concurrently exonerates him from any form of liability that might be engaged as effect of the procedural practice totally independent in relation to the hierarchical management or agents of other powers.

The crime of family abandonment is a continuing offense. The courts have strictly enforced the decision no. 10/2008 issued by the High Court of Cassation and Justice, joint Sections, which sets forth that in the case of continuing and continued offenses, the prior complaint shall be admitted within two months from the date the injured party or the party entitled to file the prior complaint has knowledge of the identity of the offender. The decision issued in second appeal in the interest of law shall be binding and might lead to the suspension of the criminal trial in all cases concerning abandonment of family. Thoroughly analyzing the doctrine and jurisprudence, the author identifies a solution for solving this dilemma.

On the basis of the organization and operation of the union institutions there are the principle of autonomy of their organizing, the principle of conferral of competencies and the principle of the institutional balance. MEPs represent the people (in the system previous to the Treaty of Lisbon) and the EU citizens (under the current regime), they can not receive instructions, orders from governments of the Member States, not being appointed by them. The States are associated in the Union itself, which reveals a community of interests and aspirations, embodied in the objectives and decisions set.

The international treaties on human rights are the fundamental conventional sources de jure applicable in this area and at the level of the European Union. The evolution of their content relevant to the fundamental rights is spectacular, starting from the lack of interest in terms of regulations expressed in the Treaty of Rome signed in 1957, to the rules of reference to the (European) Convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms contained in the Single European Act or the Treaty of Maastricht and up to the establishment of the European Union’s own protection mechanism under the Treaty of Lisbon and the Charter of fundamental rights.
