lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I should like to start by congratulating Mrs Theato on her sterling work. In its opinion, the Committee on Constitutional Affairs said YES to the establishment of a European Prosecutor. It said yes because it feels that the problems which the European Union currently faces need a more systematic approach and solution. At the same time, however, it underlines certain issues which it considers important. The first issue has to do with the jurisdiction of the European Prosecutor. Of course, we all agree that the starting point was to combat fraud, which something needs to be done about immediately. It is a sad fact, unfortunately, but it is a fact nonetheless. However, the committee pointed out that transnational relations and the collective structures to which Member States take recourse mean that an evolutionary approach must be taken to the jurisdiction of the European Prosecutor, so that, if necessary, powers to combat other crimes can be added at a later date; unfortunately, as we all know, the current international system is always thinking up new crimes. The second point made by the Committee on Constitutional Affairs concerns the role of the European Parliament in relation to the European Prosecutor. We feel that the European Parliament, which was the first to underline the issues and the problems of pan-European crime, should be the institution to which the European Prosecutor is accountable. Thirdly, the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor goes hand in hand with the development of European criminal law, which is an inevitable development, and finally, it is, I think, important to point out, within the structure of relations between the European Union and its Member States, how the European Prosecutor will stand in relation to national public prosecutors."@en1
