Rights and criminal procedure: The case law of the European Court of Human Rights (CoE,
2009) p 11; Winter, p 116.
Despite the above mentioned EU instruments were all adopted after 2009, it is worth
noting that the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009 introduced significant
developments into the previous architecture of the area of Justice and Home Affairs
matters. It marked the formal abolition of the pillar structure, thereby ‘comunitarising’
the former third pillar on police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (PJCC). This,
in practice, means that PJCC acts are now adopted under the ordinary legislative procedure in the form of Directives or Regulation, are subject to the normal effect of EU law
(direct effect and supremacy) and the normal enforcement powers recognised by the
Treaties to the European Commission and the Court of Justice of the European Union
(CJEU), in particular, references on the validity and interpretation of EU measures in this
area from all courts and tribunals in all Member States, and the power of the Commission
to sue Member States for infringement of the laws in this area. For more information see,
amongst others, European Parliament, ‘The End of the Transition Period for Police and
Criminal Justice Measures Adopted before the Lisbon Treaty. Who Monitors Trust in the
European Justice Area?’, (2014); and Peers, ‘Statewatch Analysis: The “Third Pillar acquis”
after the Treaty of Lisbon enters into force’ (3 November 2009) <www.statewatch.org/
