Romanian does not apply Article 7 (1) of the Council Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA of 27 November 2008 on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to judgments in criminal matters imposing custodial sentences or measures involving deprivation of liberty for the purpose of their enforcement in the European Union. Double incrimination is required for all types of offences: the offence for which the sentence was imposed would have amounted, if committed in Romanian territory, an offence and its author would have been held accountable. If the sentence was imposed for more than one offence, the conditions shall be examined for each and every offence.
Execution of foreign court decision as effect of a European Arrest Warrant is provided by Article 168 When surrender of a Romanian national from Romania, in reliance upon a European Arrest Warrant, occurred subject to their transfer, in case of conviction in view of serving the sentence in a prison or health care facility in Romania, transfer to Romania, in view of executing the sentence, shall take place in reliance upon the certificate referred to in Annex no. 5 and the court decision delivered by the issuing State. Taking over the sentenced person under escort, receipt and custody thereof in prison shall occur in compliance with the judgment having previously ordered the surrender of the sentenced person and, if appropriate, of the judgment granting the approval for such person to also be investigated for offences other than the ones forming the object of the first judgment. Custody in prison in reliance upon such judgment may not exceed 90 days after the day when the sentenced person has been taken over. The 90-day period shall be deducted from the penalty imposed against the sentenced person. After transfer of the sentenced person in Romania, the execution of the decision ruled by the court of the issuing State shall be performed by the competent Romanian court. The provisions of Article 168 only apply if the certificate and the court decision are delivered by issuing State within no more than 3 months after the date when the court decision may be enforced.
