Framework Decision (EU doc no 10287/07, dated 5 June 2007). General scrutiny reservations were been laid down by the UK, Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, Czech Republic and Slovakia delegations (who want a non-binding Resolution). UK, Malta and Cyprus have a specific reservation on whether the Council can adopt a binding text covering domestic criminal proceedings. Ireland has a reservation on the legal basis.
