It can be stated - in a retrospec- tive view from today -, that the principle functioned in a negative way: the requirement of double incrimination means the non-recognition of the foreign legislature's decision about the necessity of punishment, in other words the double incrimination means the denial of mutual recognition. Even, if it was not called to be eliminated on the stage of generally accepted legal customs and legal regulation for a while, jurisprudence had appreciated the possible success of the principle already in the early days.2 In the development of extradition law and the regulation of international legal assistance in criminal matters respec- tively, the requirement of double incrimination had the central role3. Only in the case of the European Union, the latest legal achievements of the third pillar relativize its importance but obviously only between the Member States of the European Union. 1 Special thank to Ms. Andrea T6r6 for her engagement in preparing the translation of the article. 2 1880 Oxford Decisions.
