Summary/Abstract: Territorial competence constitutes that form of competence through which criminal cases are distributed from a territorial point of view, between criminal judicial bodies of the same degree. The distribution of cases is done on a horizontal line.Territorial competence is determined according to the place where the crime was committed, the legislator establishing a series of rules regarding crimes committed on the territory of Romania, respectively, regarding those committed outside the territory of the country.Despite the changes made with the entry into force of the new Code of Criminal Procedure, territorial competence has not been the subject of any exhaustive analysis until now. Even though the provisions on territorial jurisdiction are contained in only two articles, there are numerous controversies regarding its determination. The purpose of this article consists precisely in the analysis of these problems arising in judicial practice.
