THIRD SECTION
Application no. 17988/17 Jose Javier ZABALETA ELOSEGUI against Spain and 15 other applications (see list appended)
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
The applications concern the domestic courts ’ refusal to reduce the applicants ’ sentences of imprisonment on the basis, inter alia, of a new case-law adopted by the Supreme Court contrary to its previous approach [1] on the interpretation of the Council Framework Decision 2008/675/JHA [2] and, in particular, on taking into account a previous criminal conviction handed down and served in another EU Member State (in the instant case, France). This refusal implies the postponement of the applicants ’ final release .
QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES
1. Did the domestic courts ’ refusal to reduce the applicants ’ sentences of imprisonment [3] amount to a breach of Article 7 of the Convention (see, by way of comparison, Del Río Prada v. Spain [GC], no. 42750/09, §§ 91-93 and §§ 111-118)?
2. Is the applicants ’ imprisonment in breach of Article 5 § 1 of the Convention and, if so, from which date? ( see , by way of comparison, Del Río Prada v. Spain [GC], cited above, §§ 123-132)?
