UNELE OBSERVAȚII CRITICE REFERITOARE LA RECUNOAȘTEREA RECIPROCĂ A SANCȚIUNILOR PECUNIARE CA FORMĂ DE ASISTENȚĂ JUDICIARĂ ÎN MATERIE PENALĂ ÎNTRE STATELE MEMBRE ALE UNIUNII EUROPENE

Within this paper it is examined the institution of recognition and enforcement of pecuniary sanctions by a competent authority of another Member State of the European Union, regarded as a form of judicial assistance in criminal matters at the level of the Member States. The study is a continuation of the research on the institution of judicial assistance, materialized in the author’s publication of other materials in the specialized reviews and in the volumes of some international conferences. The study can be useful both to practitioners in this field and to the students of faculties of law. The element of novelty is the examination of the institution in the light of the new amendments brought to the Romanian and European legislation, as well as by critical remarks expressed, remarks meant to help improve the phrasing of incidental legal rules.
