Abstract

The principle of mutual recognition which was declared to be the cornerstone of judicial cooperation in criminal matters relies on mutual trust between the national authorities involved. The European Union, however, is going through times of crisis - individual Member States deviate from originally common values and convictions, nationalism is on the rise. Under these conditions the existence of mutual trust is difficult to justify. This article tries to analyse whether the recent jurisprudence of the CJEU and some of the national Constitutional Courts reflect these changes. The author favours to uphold the only seemingly outdated “ordre public” proviso as an outlet in order to be prepared to allow exceptions to mutual recognition at least in exceptional cases.
