The criminalisation of imputable non-performances of a purchase agreement at the Dutch and EU-level

This PhD-project researches the criminalisation of imputable non-performances of a purchase agreement at the Dutch and EU-level (hereinafter: INP). This research will answer the question whether and how INP should be criminalised at the Dutch and/or the EU-level. To answer this question, the PhD-project will identify the commonly accepted criminalisation principles at national and EU-level and combine these with the results of comparative law research (civil vs. criminal law, NL vs. EU). Subsequently, the research will apply these principles to the phenomenon of INP. The knowledge generated by this research will 1) provide insights into the level of protection against INP and 2) clarify the demarcation between the competences of the Netherlands and the EU.
