It looks at arraignment, whether plea bargaining is fair and finally it compares and contrasts French and German administrative courts.

From the Paper:

"However, before the agreement is reached the conformity and consent of the private offended party is obtained, there can be no agreement if he or she does not consent to it. With respect to de officio offenses, where there are no private offended parties or if the state itself is the offended party, the concurrence of the public prosecutor and the accused is sufficient. An example is the offense of illegal drug distribution where the accused may enter a plea of mere possession and use of the drugs found in his possession."
