The Public Prosecution Service has written a draft instruction that makes clear to all public prosecutors the conditions that those procedural agreements must meet: “They can, for example, concern the criminal offenses that the public prosecutor may or may not include in the indictment, what punishment he will demand and what research wishes the defense submits.” Courts must ultimately ratify the agreements in a judgment and retain the freedom to deviate from them.
