In December 2019, the Council General Secretariat’s Criminal Law Team published a compendium of selected texts on legal instruments (106 texts) relevant for EU criminal law. It includes instruments adopted by the EU Institutions on the following:

• Cooperation in criminal matters (including mutual recognition of judicial decisions);
• Instruments concerning substantive criminal law;
• Extracts from the Treaties;
• Agreements between the EU and third countries, such as those relating to mutual legal assistance.

In addition to an index, the publication also contains electronic bookmarks. By clicking on the links in the content section, the reader quickly arrives at the text he/she is looking for. The electronic version of the book (PDF) is available free of charge via the Council website>Documents & Publications. Hard copies are also available.
