"Mr President, we vote tomorrow on a report that appears to limit the immunity of Europol officials, but is a smokescreen for future legislation that will actually extend this until after 2010. There is no debate. The vote is merely a consultative exercise. The decision will be made by the European Council. Europol officials will be able to operate in Member States in a wide variety of capacities that will give them immunity for anything that they do and anything that they say in the course of their duties – a privilege not even enjoyed by the NKVD under Stalin’s ‘Great Terror’. This will be an innovation in England, where no public official has immunity from prosecution. Under the Lisbon Treaty, Member States’ parliaments will not be able to block the further extension of Europol’s powers, amended by Council decisions. These are the first steps in the creation of a European Union police state."@en1
