This solution, which originates from points raised in the consultations with Member States including the recent Franco-German initiative calling for the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor's Office, will also ensure the coordination necessary in the prosecution to avoid the risk of 'double jeopardy' (the ne bis in idem principle) that could arise if connected crimes are neglected or not looked at as a whole.
Selle abil tagatakse ka kohtumenetluse raames vajalik koordineerimine, et vältida nn topeltkaristamist (ne bis in idem põhimõte) juhul, kui jäetakse tähelepanuta omavahel seotud kuriteod või kui neid ei vaadelda tervikuna.
