Council Framework Decision 2005/214/JHA of 24 February 2005 on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to financial penalties

The framework decision introduces specific measures, under the principle of mutual recognition, allowing a judicial or administrative authority to transmit a financial penalty directly to an authority in another EU country and to have that fine recognised and executed without any further formality.

This Framework Decision is amended by Framework Decision 2009/299/JHA with regard to decisions rendered in the absence of the person concerned during the trial.
