lpv:translated text	"Madam President, first I would like to congratulate you in that position, and assure you that, as usual, I will be speaking on behalf of the radical Members of the Technical Group of Independent Members. My friends and I have studied the issue of Eurojust in depth and frankly it deserves to be called ‘Euro Saint-Just’ instead, in view of the way this matter has come before us. I am told Saint-Just was a good lawyer too. Eurojust raises many questions, so I am glad Commissioner Vitorino is here. Nice clearly rejected the principle of an independent public prosecutor. The countries do not want it, for all sorts of reasons. A prosecution system cannot be developed without at the same time developing a defence system, a data protection system, and a rights guarantee system. A bureaucracy will be created which will try to ask governments for criminal proceedings, when criminal proceedings are reserved for the judiciary. The rules on that vary from one country to another. In our country criminal proceedings are obligatory, but that is not the case in others. These are complex matters which, in my opinion, are not going to be improved by this ‘Euro Saint-Just’ which seems to me to be a bit like holding the inquisition at European level, if we do not build a parallel system of control and legality. Furthermore, Commissioner, it makes me wonder when I think of the circumstances in which some countries have nominated their representatives – my country, for instance, which nominated Mr Caselli, in violation of rules laid down by the judiciary itself. It makes me wonder when my country sends you the procurator of Palermo, who brought charges against Mr Andreotti, Mr Muzotto and Mr Contrada, who has tried five cases on the basis of the revelations of penitents, and who lost five cases out of five – the people he charged were acquitted in court. I wonder where we will end up if these methods are exported to Europe. For pity’s sake, let us reject this ‘Euro Saint-Just’."@en1
