"Mr Frattini, ladies and gentlemen, the Klich report justifiably emphasises the need for increased reliability in criminal matters when exchanging information with non-EU countries. Do you know, however, how effective the cooperation coordinators — Eurojust, Interpol and Europol — are, and how effective the agreements on police or judicial cooperation are? My personal experience shows that even in the simplest cases a check on basic evidence initiated by the minister for home affairs and the national public prosecutor’s office concerning cases of corruption at the management level of Latvia’s police required half a year in Latvia itself, although less than an hour would have been necessary for a check on the basic evidence in the relevant Member State. Mr Frattini, in my view it is absolutely unacceptable, in issues of inter-state judicial assistance, in cases of the highest significance concerning crimes of a political and economic nature on a national scale, for correspondence with non-EU countries to be drawn out over three or four years. Such is actually the case for the pace of the investigation into the case of the mayor of Ventspils, A. Lembergs. Such a pace in providing judicial assistance does nothing to successfully combat corruption. Unfortunately, this situation creates a legal nihilism in society, which expects crime to be tackled effectively. Mr Frattini, I would therefore draw your attention to the fact that there are individual cases where new instruments are necessary to distribute and examine cases of various categories on a priority basis, in particular, and – and this is important – not only on all sides, but also quickly."@en1
