lo26052002 law 17/2014, July 24, qualified for the modification of the law for the modification of the code of criminal procedure, of 10 December 1998 given that the General Council in its session of July 24 2014 has approved the following: law 17/2014, July 24, qualified for the modification of the law for the modification of the code of criminal procedure , of 10 December 1998 preamble on 16 February 1989 approved the code of criminal procedure, which was the subject of a first substantial modification in accordance with the law for the modification of the code of criminal procedure, of 10 December 1998, at the same time that was passed the law for the modification of the penal code. This reform, which is very important in terms of the scope, I'd aim to adapt the standard criminal procedure to the provisions of the Constitution adopted on 14 March 1993 and, in particular, settle for the compliance with and respect required of fundamental rights and public freedoms that are recognized and tutelen. Indeed, as is clear from its preamble, it was necessary to abide by the code of criminal procedure, in a clear and express, to the limits deriving from the constitutional recognition of the rights and inviolable freedoms of the citizens, in addition to make it match with the content of several international treaties signed and ratified Meanwhile by the Principality of Andorra.
With the qualified law on modification of the code of criminal procedure was introduced for the first time the procedure of the criminal Ordinance, which empowers the batlle instructor to dictate a resolution that will determine the facts, their legal qualification and criminal liability which they arise, and at the same time imposing a particular sentence, the maximum duration of which may not exceed half the penalty score for the criminal offence are mentioned in the criminal code. The lack of opposition to this criminal Ordinance means that becomes firm and a seasoned. This procedure, however, was only applicable in the event of certain minor crimes and criminal contravencions, and as long as there was no reoccurance.
In accordance with the approval of the law of international criminal cooperation and the fight against the laundering of money or securities arising from international, on 29 December 2000, was to carry out another timely reform and isolated of the criminal procedure code, with regard to the delivery of malicious objects guarded and the participation of an undercover agent.
However, the approval of law 9/2005, of 21 February, qualified of the criminal code, is the second reform of the general scope of the criminal procedural law, in particular by virtue of the law 10/2005, of 21 February, qualified for the modification of the code of criminal procedure. In this way, it suited the criminal procedure code and the new penal code, will derogaven certain provisions, in particular those relating to the suspension and the replacement of penalties, as it became regulated in penal policy, and reformed other issues strictly procedural content with the purpose, among others, to amend option was the practical problems and that entorpien the criminal proceedings unnecessarily or created dysfunctions. By way of example, it was possible the procedure of the criminal Ordinance in relation to all criminal contravencions and minor crimes, and also in the case that there was recidivism.
Subsequently, the adequacy of the criminal rules to the international treaties signed and ratified by Andorra necessitated a specific amendment of the penal code, by law 15/2008, of 3 October, to adapt it to the commitments in the area of corruption and the financing of terrorism. So he also require the reform of the law for the modification of the code of criminal procedure, by virtue of the law 16/2008, of 3 October.
Taking into account, on the other hand, that the criminal procedure code contains provisions that affect the exercise of fundamental rights, and especially of the rights recognized in article 10 of the Constitution, on the 7th of September 2010, the Constitutional Court ruled, as a result of incidental actions of unconstitutionality actions brought by the Court of Corts on March 31, 2010 , certain clauses of articles 24 and 25.1 of the criminal procedure code, which restricted the legal assistance twenty-four hours of the arrest, were contrary to the Constitution and, therefore, null. Accordingly, through the law 87/2010, from 18 November, qualified for the modification of different texts in the field of criminal law in relation to the legal assistance, they modify the clauses mentioned above. This is the only occasion to date, in addition to the changes arising from the adoption of the law of international criminal cooperation and the fight against the laundering of money or securities of international crime, of 29 December 2000, in which a modification of the code of criminal procedure has not been accompanied by a parallel reform or dimanat of the criminal code.
After that, they have promoted other specific reforms of criminal procedure, such as that falsehood stems of law 19/2012, from 11 October, associated with the modification also very partial of the penal code, to settle for these legal texts to new international agreements signed or ratified by Andorra, as well as to the recommendations of the Group of States against corruption. At the same time, we took advantage of the opportunity to complete or revise the wording of some articles to improve legal security and strengthen the criminal procedural guarantees.
Finally, the last amendment, recently operated, has been introduced by law 19/2013, of 10 October, which has allowed it to implement the decision 2007/845/JHA of the Council, of 6 December, concerning cooperation between asset recovery offices of the Member States in the area of discovery and identification of the products of crime or other property related to crime , included in the annex accompanying the monetary Agreement signed between the Principality of Andorra and the European Union, the ratification of which was approved by the General Council on 24 November 2011.

Thus, the code of criminal procedure, as a legal body that contains the procedural rules of criminal law, is a legal standard that, given its importance and frequent application requires be modified often in greater or lesser extent, depending on the case, and this circumstance has been made especially clear in Andorra in the last few years. On the other hand, their linking and interaction not only with the substantive rule of criminal law, but also with other laws of our legal system that sometimes it should be reformed, even if most impinge on this need for constant review, since otherwise the laws mentioned may not achieve the objective sought in accordance with the modification.
In this sense, the modification of the contemporary form of qualified law promoted the justice, on 3 September 1993 and, in less extent, of the transitional law of judicial procedures, on 21 December of the same year, has made essential a new reform of the qualified law on modification of the code of criminal procedure. For this reason, then, that have been promoted by this law, which is divided into sixty-eight articles and three final provisions, one of which involves the modification of several articles of the law of the jurisdiction of minors, of 22 April 1999.
Indeed, as argued in the preamble of the law amending the law of Justice and of the transitional law of judicial procedures, it has launched a new distribution of powers to the courts in the field of criminal jurisdiction, for reasons of balance in the assumption of workload and to improve the consistency and uniformity. Therefore, and although the batlles instructors keep judging by the criminal Ordinance, the Court of Corts becomes competent to judge in the first instance, as well as of the processes followed by major crimes in a member, are followed by minor crimes, and also the criminal contravencions in one-man composition; and, accordingly, the Criminal Chamber of the upper Tribunal assume jurisdiction to resolve these processes in appeal, as well as the criminal process the courts in the first instance by the Court of minors, and in turn becomes competent to resolve appeals against resolutions issued by Mayor instructor in the period of execution of the Penal regulations, or by the Mayor of minors in certain cases.
Therefore, I delete the Single Court of Mayor and the Court of Batlles in the Criminal Court, which are competent to judge, respectively, the criminal contravencions and minor crimes. Taking into account trade that since has wanted to introduce the principle according to which who is competent to issue a resolution must also be to run it, the Mayor instructor becomes the executor of Penal ordinances that have pronounced, instead of the Single Court of the Mayor in connection with the criminal contravencions, and of the Court of magistrates, with regard to minor offences.
In this sense, most of the articles of the law for the modification of the code of criminal procedure that have been refurbished by means of this law have been for the purpose of adapting the criminal procedural rule to this new distribution of authority. However, since this adaptation required a powerful modification regarding the number of articles concerned, also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to reform-others, with the common goal of encouraging the streamlining in the processing and resolution of criminal processes, and to promote the quality and effectiveness when it comes to administer justice.
In particular, with regard to the procedure of the criminal Ordinance, have expanded the event in what should be or is applicable, and the necessary adaptations have been made because, to all intents and purposes, the firm and a seasoned criminal Ordinance is equated to the firm. It is also possible that the Mayor can declare instructor lack of criminal responsibility and decreed the archive of previous proceedings under certain circumstances encausada in the person complete and exclusive relaxing time the formalisms in the notification of judicial decisions. Together, we have made extensive use of the relevant area of the Ministry in charge of Justice, in order to organize and coordinate the execution of the work for the benefit of the community, as a punishment or measure of replacing custodial sentences of convicted adults, so far carried out only in the case that a disciplinary charge subsidized rates measurement of these characteristics , to the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of minors, with satisfactory results. In this way it aims to encourage the imposition of these penalties or measures that make it possible to avoid the breaking of the condemned person with family life, social and labor, and promoting values such as solidarity, responsibility and the common good. And taking into account that this area, in accordance with its functions and powers, must be attached to the Ministry responsible for Justice, have been modified five articles of the law of the jurisdiction of minors for that purpose.
One of the main purposes of presenting legislative reform is to consolidate and, if necessary, to improve the guarantees in the exercise of the fundamental rights of the person encausada. So, has extended the right to legal assistance from the moment anyone that pay statement to the Police as a suspect, if the facts that motivate research can constitute a crime, but has not been arrested, or that you have to be the subject of a recognition of identity or a House record. At the same time it has the precise scope of a possible waiver of this law and the participation of the lawyer in the practice of the proceedings. We have also included the right of the person suspected or arrested to be recognized by a doctor of their choice, in addition to the medical examiner.
In this respect, they have tempered the Formalisms for the purpose of exercising the civil action ex delicto, has expanded the exemption from the obligation to report the Commission of a crime to family members of the individual offender up to the third degree by adoption, there has been extensive the possibility to lodge an appeal against the decision of the Mayor of law instructor who the secret proceedings, partial or previous table of contents , and has included a new event to promote the revision against a firm judgment.

In another order of ideas, has been changed or precise the wording of some articles to make them more understandable or bring them to the interpretation by the courts or to the practice started. Such as with regard to cases in which the Police Service should proceed to the arrest, as well as to the duration of the detention and the control mechanisms, without prejudice to that contemplated the possibility of extended, although exceptionally and in cases set forth, the deadline for the summons issued by Mayor of processing, and that in turn will allow also for unusual dictate this sentence if you do not take failed processing statement to the person encausada in the envisaged deadline.
Finally, certain modifications have been because of the adaptation of the standard criminal law 18/2013, of 10 October, qualified for the modification of the criminal code, recently approved, as well as of the need to comply with articles 36, 41 and 42 of the law 17/2013, of 10 October, on the introduction of the euro in the framework of the monetary Agreement signed between the Principality of Andorra and the European Union which requires obligations by the criminal judicial bodies in the field of forgery of currency.
