Summary/Abstract: The study is focused on the main changes that Romanian legislation should suffer after the accession to the European Union. This complex transformation includes the harmonizing process between the national penal law and the community one and the implementation of the fundamental principles regarding the relation between the law systems mentioned above. These fundamental principles are: the principle of community law priority, the principle of performing all obligations with good faith, the principle of interpreting the national law according to the community law. Other principles are referring to the organizational structure, the relations between national authorities and the community institutions, and the relations among the community institutions. The study approaches the problem of European warrant and the European judicial space. The author’s point of view is that after the accession to the European Union, Romania is in the process of “Europeanization” of the criminal law.
