Preparation of the practical implementation of the framework decision on the mutual recognition of probation measures
The aim of the project is to accompany the implementation of Framework Decision on the Transfer of Probation Sanctions and Alternative Measures (2008/947/JHA) by providing means for the next EU Presidencies (particularly by means of the national fact sheets) to intensively follow up the last phases of implementing the Framework Decision. A second objective is to produce good practice with a view to setting up a standard method for accompanying the implementation of mutual recognition instruments in the future.
