Consultative Council of European Prosecutors (CCPE)
 Recognising
the essential role of the public prosecutor in the criminal
justice system into a State of Law, the
Committee of Ministers decided in July 2005 to institutionalise
the CPGE through the creation of the Consultative Council of
European Prosecutors (CCPE).
This consultative body to the Committee of Ministers has in
particular the task to prepare opinions for the Committee of
Ministers on difficulties concerning the
implementation of
Recommendation Rec(2000)19, to promote the
implementation of this recommendation, and to collect
information about the functioning of prosecution services in
Europe.

 Member
States must apply the dispositions of the Opinion on the
relationship between prosecutors and the prison
administration
During its
6th plenary meeting (Strasbourg, 24-25
November 2011), the CCPE adopted an Opinion on the
relationship between prosecutors and the prison
administration. An analysis of the situation in the
different member States, previously carried out by the
working group, revealed a variety of systems
in this field. Some member states do not acknowledge public prosecutors' competence in this matter. The
Opinion invites European public prosecutors to ensure
the implementation of the European prison rules
contained in Recommendation Rec(2006)2 of the Council of
Europe, and in particular to guarantee that detainees
serve the prison sentence in conditions strictly laid
down by the law,
that they are treated appropriately, that
they have dignified living conditions
and that they are duly guided during their detention
in order to facilitate their reintegration.
