COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT
Revised preliminary list of the former third pillar acquis
COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT REVISED PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE FORMER THIRD PILLAR ACQUIS
Situation as of 14 May 2014
Article 10 (1) of Protocol 36 attached to the Treaty on the European Union provides for a transitional period before the full powers of the Commission and of the Court of Justice apply to the acts in the field of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters (“former third pillar acquis") adopted before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty.
As of 1 December 2014, the transitional phase will come to an end. This will lift current limitations to the judicial control by the European Court of Justice and to the Commission's power to launch infringement proceedings, as the guardian of the Treaty over the area of police cooperation and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.
The attached list updates the list SWD(2014) 109 final which was presented on 14 March 2014, taking into account comments formulated by delegations in the Friends of the Presidency Group on Protocol 36 and legislative developments which have occurred in the meantime. This list also includes a number of instruments which have been lisbonised through their amendment by acts adopted after the entry into force of the Lisbon treaty.
It has been prepared by the Commission services with a view to assist Member States and to provide clarity on the third pillar acts to which Article 10 (1) to (3) of Protocol 36 will apply. It must be noted that the situation may still evolve before 1 December 2014, depending on the adoption of some proposals that aim at amending or repealing the former third pillar acts concerned.
Although efforts have been made to make this list exhaustive, it has only indicative value; it does not replace the publication in the Official Journal or the notification of adopted instruments, which are the only authoritative formal sources of Union law.
This list is without prejudice to future proposals on repeal of obsolete acts.
