"The Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities has voted against this recommendation because implementing it would be synonymous with finally withdrawing vital and crucial policy areas – namely policing and criminal law as these relate to the ordering of our ordinary lives – from the jurisdiction of the Member States and transferring them to the EU.
The recommendation is an absurd rhetorical demonstration of the parliamentary majority’s disconnection from reality, and in a double sense. Firstly, it is – even now – politically unthinkable for the governments of the Member States to endorse the adoption of a recommendation that would make it possible to introduce EU criminal law and to establish a federal police service. Secondly, adoption of the recommendation would be out of step with actual social conditions which indicate that Parliament’s dream of a European federal state will prove to be a nightmare. There are not one, but fifteen, different juridico-political cultures and systems in the EU. EU criminal law and an EU police service would, at best, severely damage the Member States’ legal traditions and, at worst, consolidate a centralised system without democratic control and, moreover, do so without solving the problems faced by the Member States. The core of European cooperation should be diversity and respect for other countries’ legal systems."@en1
