lpv:translated text	". I have already expressed my views, this year, on the proposal for an amendment of the 1991 directive on money laundering. The European Parliament had already pinpointed the omissions in this directive, and the Commission recently tabled a proposal taking Parliament’s comments into consideration. The Council’s common position has not been officially recognised. The report under discussion today is a direct result of the commitment made at the European Council in Tampere, in October 1999, to combat this scourge of money laundering which amounts to between 2 and 5% of the world’s GDP every year. The French Presidency made this one of the priorities on its agenda, and has therefore planned a set of legislative measures to create a legal framework broad enough to encompass the crime of money laundering. We have had proposals, firstly, to extend Europol’s competence to cover money laundering – the Karamanou report – and, secondly, for a raft of measures to improve international cooperation in the field of mutual assistance in criminal matters – the Roure report. These two reports were put to the vote today, and I voted in favour of them. The Marinho report now seeks to extend the principle of the mutual recognition of national measures for the identification, tracing, freezing, seizing and confiscation of instrumentalities and the proceeds from crime, established by the Joint Action 98/699/JHA in 1998, to decisions in the pre-court phase, especially those enabling the competent authorities to take rapid action to obtain evidence and seize easily transportable assets. These proactive measures are absolutely essential in order to combat this phenomenon, which has continually grown and taken on an international dimension. As Conclusion 51 of the Tampere European Council states, “Money laundering is at the very heart of organised crime. It should be rooted out wherever it occurs.” I therefore voted in favour of the Marinho report, and in support of the endeavours of the French Presidency."@en1
