lpv:translated text	". Obviously we must subscribe to a policy of strengthening the fight against all forms of corruption, both national and European. Nor have we ever stopped saying so, especially since the Schengen Agreement eliminated Member States’ border controls. All these serious issues, which affect the actual exercise of justice, public freedoms and public order, can only fall within the competence of the Member States. It should be remembered that justice is a right bestowed and organised by national governments. With all kinds of organised and cross-border crime on the increase, however, with growing insecurity and violence, intergovernmental cooperation between Member States’ police forces and judiciaries is desirable. Lo and behold, though, Europe is trying to impose communitisation of our judicial system and our internal public order on the pretext of this cooperation, notably by creating a European public prosecutor’s office. The Nice Council of December 2000 adjudged this latter measure a danger to respect for individual’s rights and democracy, and rightly rejected the creation of this supranational public prosecutor. The European Parliament is once again treating the deep feelings of the Member States with disdain. Following the old custom of coming through the back door in disguise after leaving through the front, it is actually trying, with the help of Mrs Guigou, French Minister of Justice at the time, to make Eurojust an embryo European public prosecutor’s office. A single prosecution service, independent of the Member States could therefore, at its convenience, decide to arrest, prosecute or extradite suspects, without any recourse to the judiciaries of the Member States concerned. Is this progress in common security? No, more like another step towards confusion of powers."@en1
