lpv:spoken text	". The UK Labour Members of the PES support the spirit of this Resolution, but have reservations regarding some of its content. We do not support the inclusion of the European Public Prosecutor in this text (paragraph five). The Resolution seeks to give such a body power over Member States’ territories, which is an inappropriate response to the cooperation between nations the Report called for. The legitimacy of such a body to override national judicial rulings would be questionable, and the judicial discretion of Member States’ legal authorities should be preserved. In addition, some parts of the text are potentially ambiguous with areas of legal confusion e.g. paragraph nine on indirect sanctions to be applied to Member States (paragraph nine) and the call to extend the powers of the European Court of Justice in its rulings over instruments decided outside the sphere of the EU. Finally, the UK Labour Members support cooperation in criminal matters, but have reservations concerning the reference to the ‘harmonisation of criminal laws’ in paragraph thirteen, which suggests that Member States should standardise criminal law throughout the EU. Whilst this may be desirable in some areas, cooperation in criminal matters should focus on information sharing, coordination of bodies with some approximation of laws where this is beneficial, but not as a general rule."@en1
