I found nothing on this in English except this short article :
Today the report has been presented to pathological Rachida Dati, who commented that establishing penal sanctions from 12 years of age was merely common sense.

(ANSAmed) - ROME, NOVEMBER 28 - Behind bars from 12 years of age, was the proposal, at the end of its meeting, made by the commission charged with the reform of the justice system for minors in the country. The commission, chaired by André Varinard, will present an official report to the Minster of Justice Rachida [Dati] on December third, while the project for the relevant law has already been announced for June 2009. If the appeals of the commission become law, children of 12 will be put in prison if they commit crimes requiring the sentence, compared to 13 as the law currently stands. The proposal of the commission of experts is to fix the age at 12 for the age at which someone can begin to have responsibility for criminal actions (while until now it has never been determined). The average age for this type of responsibility in Europe is 14, while in Great Britain it is 10. (ANSAmed).
