Notes

  1. 1.

    In this regard, the projects for a new Criminal Code in Romania provide for a single COO, and solve this possible conflict. However, the reform of the Romania Criminal Code has seen different phases and draft codes and it is not possible to state which version will finally enter into force. In June 2009 a new Criminal Code has been approved by the Parliament. According to Article 446 of the new code, the entry into force will be determined by the law for the implementation of the Criminal Code. This law has still to be approved on December 2009.

  2. 2.

    Nevertheless, Weigend (1997, 534) argues that these offences may “lead to problems of proof”.
