lpv:translated text	". Mr President, under the motto ‘the police are your best friend’, the Dutch police once made an attempt to improve its image and restore police authority for the benefit of public order and safety. Since it is this public order and safety that are once again at risk, it now appears necessary to join forces across the borders. National police forces have already organised extensive contact among their Chiefs of Police. That this is now being extended to include training for higher-ranked, executive officers is a welcome addition. I am, with reservation, in favour of the Commission proposal to turn the European Police College into an EU body. It is perfectly clear that this proposal aims to achieve a college for police officers which is run more efficiently and more effectively. I object to the target group being widened. This widening to include all law enforcement services is disproportionate to the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity. The evaluation of December 2003 showed that there is no need to extend the target group to lower-ranked police officers and other law enforcement services. This would represent an excessive encroachment upon national autonomy, and concessions would also need to be made with regard to content. If, as the rapporteur is right to point out, the effective use of the means is one of the Commission proposal’s objectives, then I am surprised that Brussels has not been selected as its base. During my work visits to European agencies, it turned out time and time again that the costs of staff stationed outside of Brussels are considerably higher than those of staff in Brussels. The cost of Commission officials’ travel between the base and Brussels is a particularly significant item. Finally, I support Mr Demetriou’s report and hope that in this consultation procedure, the Commission will grant Parliament’s amendments the necessary weight in the directive. In that way, police authority can be restored more effectively."@en1
