"Organised crime has a substantial social cost in that it misappropriates resources, distorts the free common market, pollutes businesses and the legal economy, promotes corruption, contaminates and destroys the environment, infringes human rights and suppresses the rules of democracy. It is essential for the institutions of the European Union to make a concrete political effort to counter organised crime and produce tangible and significant results. Organised criminals frequently take advantage of globalisation, the abolition of borders in the EU and the legislative differences among the Member States to make increasingly substantial profits whilst, at the same time, ensuring they remain unpunished, and this is extremely serious. Criminal groups have built up a network of followers and supporters, and have penetrated the political sphere as well as public administrations, as investigations have often confirmed. The Treaty of Lisbon opens up new opportunities and provides new instruments at EU level, in terms of both judicial and police cooperation, as well as authorities responsible for countering transnational organised crime and the establishment of common rules for combating such crime more effectively. Of vital importance are both the strengthening and improved functioning of European structures that are involved in various ways in combating organised crime, and, last but not least, it is, in my opinion, necessary to apply the principle of mutual recognition of criminal decisions, and to improve judicial cooperation both between Member States and with third countries."@en1
