36As regards the strict necessity of such national legislation, the Court stated, in paragraphs 49, 53 and 55 of the judgment of 20 March 2018, Menci (C‑524/15, EU:C:2018:197), that it must provide for clear and precise rules which, first of all, allow the individual to predict which acts and omissions are liable to be subject to such a duplication of proceedings and penalties, secondly, ensure the procedures are coordinated so as to reduce to what is strictly necessary the additional disadvantage associated with the duplication of proceedings of a criminal nature conducted independently, and finally, make it possible to guarantee that the severity of all of the penalties imposed corresponds with the seriousness of the offence concerned.
