Abstract
Los Estados y las organizaciones supranacionales e internacionales preparan (demasiadas) leyes para satisfacer las demandas sociales, económicas, etc. de los ciudadanos. Después, el parlamento –y también el Consejo en el caso europeo– hace lo propio y vota dichas leyes (demasiadas) cuyas consecuencias las sufre el pueblo sin entender ni conocer la mayoría de las veces el contenido de las mismas. ¿No sería lógico, pues, interrogarse sobre la utilidad de las leyes, su coherencia interna y la coherencia global del Derecho, sus condiciones de ejecución, sus consecuencias para los jueces y sobre sus efectos perversos? Con esta cuestión como punto de partida el presente trabajo configura la evaluación legislativa ex-post como una herramienta necesaria en aras a la adopción de normas penales europeas y nacionales racionales.

States and supranational or international organizations promote (too much) legislation to regulate social, economic, and all other kinds of citizen demands. After that, the parliaments, and in Europe the Council of the European Union, pass this (too much) legislation, making the people subject to the consequences of these regulations, most of the times without kwnodlege nor understanding of their implications. Would not it be logical, therefore, to question the usefulness of laws, their internal consistency, their implementation conditions, their consequences for judges, their perverse effects, as well as the global coherence of the legal field? With this general question as a starting point this paper focuses on the potential of ex-post legislative evaluation as a technique able to promote rationality in European and national processes of legislative production in criminal matters.
