"I welcomed this resolution because, as we know, the purpose of organised crime (corruption, extortion, drugs trafficking, money laundering, etc.) is to make an economic profit, and consequently, if action to prevent and combat the problem is to be effective, it must focus on identifying, freezing, seizing and confiscating the proceeds of crime. The legal framework which currently exists at EU level is not an adequate basis for serious action to tackle the problem, and there is a need for legislation which would, for example, allow so-called ‘extended confiscation’ and action targeting assets registered in the name of front persons and organisations. The Member States must strengthen their judicial authorities and police forces on the basis of the best current experience, also comparing the legislation and resources designed to support their activities, and assigning adequate human and financial resources for that purpose. We must adopt measures in order to address this acknowledged threat to the EU and its citizens, such as setting up a special committee on the dissemination of criminal organisations which operate across borders, including mafias, drafting an impact assessment on the added value of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, improving practical cooperation among police and judicial authorities, preventing companies linked to organised crime and mafias from taking part in public tenders and public procurement management, as well as similar measures."@en1
