This procedure concerns the application of the 'non bis in idem' principle in criminal justice across the EU. This principle prevents individuals from being tried or punished twice for the same offence, ensuring fairness and legal certainty.

It aims to clarify how this fundamental right is applied in cross-border cases, affecting individuals involved in criminal proceedings within the EU and enhancing judicial cooperation.
