". The report by the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market takes as its starting point the principle that its proposals are not intended to ‘lay down criminal-law rules or achieve criminal-law harmonisation’. This – which we believe to be the right place to start – is the fruit of preparatory work and serious reflection by the Committee on Legal Affairs, which has placed especial reliance on hearings of experts in the criminal law, who confirmed that such harmonisation would give rise to upheavals and major problems. Unfortunately, the rest of the report takes us in precisely the opposite direction by relying on the extensive interpretations of the Court of Justice, by calling on the Commission, in its capacity as guardian of the Treaties, to lodge complaints and by asking the Intergovernmental Conference to define Community competence in criminal law. The Members belonging to the ‘Hunting, Fishing, Nature and Tradition’ delegation within the Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities have therefore voted against this report, which, using a technique familiar to us in this area, ends up requiring us to do what we have said we do not want to do."@en1
