Issues relating to police cooperation and to protecting our citizens are among our most pressing concerns. Police cooperation is essential if we are to provide the European public with a higher level of safety within the area of freedom, security and justice.
Following up the conclusions of the Tampere European Council, the Portuguese presidency tabled an initiative, adopted in December 2000, which set in motion the first stage of the European Police College, as a network of the existing national training institutes of each Member State. The College is intended to train senior police officers by developing a European approach to the main problem areas in combating crime, preventing crime and maintaining law and order, in particular the cross-border dimensions of these problems.
This report on the operation and future of the College notes some difficulties, mainly caused by the lack of legal personality. In spite of these difficulties, the College can be deemed to have done excellent work.
I support these two initiatives, particularly the implementation, at legislative level, of the position adopted by most Member States, including Portugal. At this stage, it is preferable to retain the network structure of national institutes, but now with a legal personality, a governing board responsible for organising and running the College, and its own secretariat and seat."@en1
