European Public Prosecutor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The post of European Public Prosecutor is one proposed for the European Union, as set forth in the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, pending ratification.
There is debate in the UK about the establishment of such a role - many suggest that such a civil law office would be at odds with the principles of common law.
