".
The proposal of the European Commission already warranted our opposition, but the report by Mr Ribeiro e Castro warrants even greater opposition, because it accentuates the negative aspects of the original proposal. I shall highlight the following examples:
the seriousness of the prospect of there being ‘liaison officers who are dispatched by the various Member States’ without any monitoring by the police authorities;
the term ‘cooperation’ is not confined to the exchange of information, specifically about crime, but also covers the prevention and investigation of criminal offences, which is unacceptable.
Due to the undisputed need for police cooperation in the EU in order to combat multinational crime organisations, cooperation could be undertaken by institutional, judicial and penal means without undermining national sovereignty.
It would be more useful, then, for the European institutions to focus their concerns on the myriad police organisations already in place, created under the Maastricht and Schengen agreements and which operate without any democratic control or monitoring and which constitute serious breaches of the citizens’ rights and freedoms and of the sovereignty of the Member States themselves."@en1
