The article aims to analyze the changes introduced by the new Criminal Code inrelation to the criminal law enforcement in time, mainly in order to harmonize the criminal
provisions with some constitutional principles and also, for the reason of their easily
application in practice.
From this perspective we can observe that the new Criminal Code has taken over the
greatest part of the provisions nowadays into force and also, has eliminated those provisions
in contradiction with the constitutional principles. Among the latter we can mention those
provisions which provide the retroactivity of the additional punishment, education and safety
measures for reasons of public interest or the provisions relating to the optional application
of the most favorable criminal law in the closed cases. We may see, also, the introduction of
the laws declared unconstitutional and the Ordinances of the Government among the laws
which are subjects for the application of the principle of the most favorable criminal law.
