".
Given its value, the territory it covers and the importance attached to it by economies outside the Community as a monetary unit of reference, the euro is now one of the most sought-after currencies among counterfeiters, who are using increasingly sophisticated techniques and methods that the authorities of individual Member States are often unable to combat.
Consequently, we must always be on the lookout for the best ways of protecting the euro and of establishing effective Europe-wide combat against euro counterfeiting.
In this regard, I believe that Europol can play an important role in centralising and disseminating information, thereby contributing towards the effectiveness of the national offices in charge of fighting this type of crime. If it is to take on this role, however, its capacity to interact and its operational capability must be enhanced. Unless such changes take place, and in light of its budgetary and legal limitations, as the rapporteur rightly points out, one is entitled to raise doubts as to its ability to accomplish that task.
I voted in favour."@en1
