EU Justice & Home Affairs Council Meets

On June 8, 2004, the Justice and Home Affairs Council of the European Union held its 2588th Meeting and continued its progress on a wide range of international enforcement cooperation and criminal justice matters. Subject to some parliamentary scrutiny reservations, the Council reached a general approach on the entire draft Framework Decision on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to confiscation orders. The framework Decision requires EU Members to recognize and execute in its territory confiscation orders issued by judicial authorities of another EU Member.
