lpv:spoken text	". Within the 15 Member States of the EU a new framework has been put in place to fight organised crime following the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam. This provides a mechanism for developing closer co-operation in the fields of police and judicial activities in the areas of criminal law. Equally, it remains the preserve of the 15 Member States of the EU to maintain law and order within their own countries while safeguarding their internal security. Parallel to the endorsement of the Amsterdam Treaty, the European Council has also launched two individual programmes to combat organised crime aimed at overcoming disparities in national procedures and establishing more efficient judicial co-operation. The conclusions of the Tampere European Council certainly present strong political support for reaffirming the Union’s wish to overcome difficulties with regard to prosecuting all forms of cross-border crime. I fully support the prosecution of such crime while ensuring that the freedoms and legal rights of individuals are protected. Certainly one of the key results of this new broader EU policy has been the broadening of powers to Europol. Europol has become fully operational since July 1999, and since 1 January 2002 Europol can deal now with combating broad-ranging types of serious international crime. This includes areas such as drug-trafficking, crimes involving illegal immigration networks, illicit vehicle trafficking, the traffic in human beings, forgery of monies, the illicit trafficking in radioactive nuclear substances, anti-terrorism measures and illegal money laundering activities."@en1
