 Management
of the means of the prosecution services
In 2012 the CCPE will examine how the means of the
prosecution services (material, human resources etc.)
are managed. On this occasion, the CCPE will look at the
magnitude of means allocated to prosecution services,
the ways their budgets are managed and, indirectly, at
their independence in this respect as compared to the
judiciary. A questionnaire on this topic has been
drawn-up and sent to the CCPE members; the replies will
serve as a basis for drafting an opinion by the working
group set up recently.

 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.

Case Moulin v. France
(Application No. 37104/06,
Judgement of 23/11/2010 - in French)
The decision, which was long awaited, is historic and
may have important consequences on the architecture of
the French justice system: in France, prosecutors, being
independent neither of the executive nor of the parties
to the proceedings, are not judicial authorities.

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).
