lpv:spoken text	"I believe the EU has to take a very careful approach when developing additional or reviewing existing criminal law provisions. Its track record is not perfect, as has been aptly demonstrated by a group of academics, the European Criminal Policy Initiative. They mentioned, inter alia, the use of many cross references in legal texts as a violation of the principle: legislation has to be clear-cut and easily understandable so that it becomes predictable for all whether an act amounts to a criminal offence or not. This holds even more so for directives, since these have to be transposed into national law and any lack of clarity can lead to diverging interpretations, which can easily enhance confusion instead of reducing it."@en1
