Abstract
The internationalization of crime has given rise to a movement towards inter-State mutual assistance in criminal matters. Prompted by a common aim to fight the criminal phenomenon, police authorities have quickly, and quite naturally, cooperated with each other, in turn encouraging judicial authorities to reinforce their own cooperation. To favor this type of cooperation, one idea to set up a criminal record common to different countries has been the subject of repeated and thorough thought since the 19th Century. More acute attention has been given to the project regionally within Europe. Though it may appear simple, the successful implementation of this proposal is relatively difficult. This explains why it was necessary to wait until 2003 for a draft criminal record to be drawn up, based on Franco-German relations. Several dramatic events favored the adaptation of the system within the framework of the European Union, with the implementation of the “ ECRIS” system. This article reveals the many steps taken to bring about the realization of a European criminal record.
