This initiative by Spain, within the Council, is part of the process of strengthening supranational police and judicial mechanisms – specifically at EU level – in the name of the so-called ‘fight against terrorism’. Bodies which evade democratic and jurisdictional control (Europol and Eurojust), are being developed and strengthened, bypassing the guarantees for rights and freedoms laid down in national legislative and constitutional frameworks. Cooperation between national States is bypassed with the creation of mechanisms for supranational control over these States. It is worth emphasising that the proposal for the creation of a ‘mechanism for evaluating the legal systems and their implementation at national level in the fight against terrorism’ bypasses and breaches the legal base that currently exists in the Treaties.
Amongst other aspects, these initiatives are part of a security shift that increasingly threatens fundamental rights, freedoms and guarantees. Although the rapporteur has tabled proposals for amendments that seek to introduce assurances and safeguards for fundamental rights, freedoms and guarantees – for example, for the transfer and management of personal information and data (it should be noted that Europol is bound by agreements with third countries, not least with the USA) – this does not change the general tenor of the initiatives that have been proposed.
Hence our vote against the report."@en1
