European Public Prosecutor's Office
Hendrych, Lukáš ; Šelleng, Dalibor (referee)
European Public Prosecutor's Office, abstract The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has been so far the most ambitious project in the field of Europeanization of criminal law. Criminal law has traditionally been an area where the member states of the European Union are strictly guarding their sovereignty and they are very reluctant when it comes to its harmonization or perhaps unification. This is also the reason why it is important to closely focus on this newly created institution. This is the very first time the EU member states established a body with a competence to investigate and prosecute crimes across countries regardless of national borders. According to the adopted legal framework, the European Chief Prosecutor located in Luxembourg is to focus primarily on crimes affecting the EU's financial interests. The EPPO is to investigate and prosecute these crimes and to represent public prosecution before national courts. The greatest added value of the EPPO should be its independence from national public prosecutor's offices in member states. Independence, expertise, and a cross-border competence should save dozens to hundreds of billions of Euros to the EU's - and nationals - budgets. These amounts of money are being lost every year due to cross-border financial crimes, mainly due to subsidy...

Protection of financial interests of the EU in Czech criminal law
Rendla, Luboš ; Gřivna, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bohuslav, Lukáš (referee)
Résumé: Protection of financial interests of the EU in Czech criminal law The aim of this thesis is to introduce the issue of protection of the financial interests of the EU by means of criminal law, which has yet to be dealt with in a comprehensive manner. The introductory chapters describe the justification for the requirement to create common standards for protection of the EU general budget, or budgets managed by or on behalf of the EU, together with a brief history of the legislation of this legal institute at the level of the European Communities. The individual provisions of the Convention on the Protection of the Financial Interests of the EC and its Implementing Protocols are interpreted in detail with an emphasis on some persistent unclear points in the interpretation. The next chapter analyses the need for transposition of this EU regulation into the Czech legal system and describes an actual course of this transposition. The main focus of the thesis is the following analysis of the national criminal law de lege lata. The characteristics of the merits of criminal offences according to a special part of the Criminal Code are interpreted in detail, including their mutual relation in terms of the admissibility of the single-action concurrence. Particular attention is paid to the crime of harming...
