lpv:translated text	". I shall begin my speech by reminding you that the Eurodac system for comparing the fingerprints of asylum seekers and certain other categories of alien was created in order to facilitate the application of the Dublin Convention, a text which makes it possible to determine the State responsible for examining the asylum applications received in one of the European Union Member States. This Convention was signed on 15 June 1990. The report under discussion deals with this Eurodac system and the way it operates. The Council is proposing to alter this in a direction which is not at all acceptable to Parliament. Specifically, the Council has proposed to take the task of setting up the Eurodac system for the collection and comparison of asylum seekers’ fingerprints (the Eurodac database is used to determine the country that was the asylum seeker’s entry point and whose task it therefore is to examine the asylum request) away from the Commission and entrust it to the Council itself in order to regain jurisdiction over it. The Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs of course rejected this Council proposal. The rapporteur, quite rightly, pointed out that under the EC Treaty, the Council may, in principle, confer implementing powers on the European Commission, but only in “specific cases” can the Council reserve the right to exercise these powers itself and, clearly, this is not applicable in the case in point. Furthermore, Parliament would lose the right to be informed and would have to rely completely on the goodwill of the Council, and this is, of course, completely inadmissible! The proposed revised wording for Articles 22 and 23 of the Eurodac regulation, which is what has currently been referred to Parliament, was therefore rejected by the committee which proposed, instead, an amendment endowing the Commission with the unconditional right to exercise implementing powers. I, of course, unreservedly support this position."@en1
