"Mr President, I will reply to the first and third questions together.
I am not opposed to the principle of giving the public absolutely clear information on the existence of extremely dangerous individuals who may well be wanted for very serious crimes. On the contrary, I believe that cooperation between police forces and the investigating authorities in Member States requires, in certain cases, the support of public opinion.
Obviously we need to safeguard the confidentiality of data which can be useful in investigations and which clearly must not be divulged, in order to avoid compromising investigations and to protect every citizen’s fundamental right to the confidentiality of personal data. I shall therefore raise the question with the task force of police chiefs of Member States with a view to obtaining a satisfactory reply, which I will then report back to this Parliament.
The second question refers to the case of General Gotovina, a criminal guilty of extremely serious offences. In my recent meeting with the President of the Republic and Prime Minister of Croatia, I pointed out that the Commission was expecting a result – namely that Gotovina should be arrested and handed over to the Hague International Tribunal. We are obviously counting on the commitment of Croatia, and on a much wider international cooperation, so that not only Gotovina but all criminals from former Yugoslavia still at large can be quickly arrested and tried by the Hague tribunal."@en1
