My group, the Confederal Group of the European United Left, does not support the report by the Committee on Citizens' Freedom and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs on the European arrest warrant.
Obviously, if we want to promote unification and deal with increasingly international challenges such as terrorism and drugs, we need to create a single area of justice, but this needs to be based on safeguarding and broadening democratic rights.
However, the European arrest warrant, especially in the hasty and thoughtless manner in which it is being pushed forward:
a) reflects pressure from the USA rather than the maturity of endogenous procedures in the European Union;
b) is being extended to a broad range of offences unconnected with terrorism, rather than being confined to the urgent challenges caused by terrorism;
c) is being imposed arbitrarily, rather than through consultation with civil society;
d) suffocates and restricts the area of justice of the Member States.
This being the case, we are concerned that an arbitrary European structure may be created with serious democratic shortcomings."@en1
