The framework decision lists a number of measures that each EU country must be able to supervise (such as the need to report to the executing authority, to repair damage caused, to not visit certain places, to avoid contact with people or objects, to perform community service, etc.).<\/p>\n
The judgment (or the probation decision), accompanied by a certificate, is transmitted directly by the competent authority of the country of issue to that of the country of execution.<\/p>\n
The execution country must decide, 60 days after receipt of the judgment or the probation measures and certificate, whether it recognises the judgment or the probation measures and whether it takes responsibility for monitoring its execution; the framework decision lists some reasons why a country may refuse to recognise a judgment.<\/p>\n
The law of the executing country applies to the supervision and application of probation measures and alternative sanctions.<\/p>\n
may adapt the measures when, because of their nature or their duration, they are incompatible with its national legislation. It must inform the issuing authority of any proposed adaptation and ensure that measures are as consistent as possible with those imposed by the issuing country;
\nis responsible for taking any subsequent decision in connection with the supervision and enforcement of the sentence: the modification of obligations, any extension of the probationary period and the revocation of the suspension.
\nIn a report published in 2014, the Commission called on EU countries that have not already done so to rapidly take the necessary measures to implement this framework decision.<\/p>\n
The framework decision was to be implemented no later than 6 December 2011.<\/p>\n
Each year, tens of thousands of EU citizens are prosecuted for alleged criminal offences or convicted in another EU country. Mutual recognition of judgments is the cornerstone of judicial cooperation in criminal matters within the EU.<\/p>\n
