"It is undeniable that organised crime has become a global issue. Therefore, strong, coordinated measures are needed by all the EU Member States, in order to crush a phenomenon that has serious repercussions for the entire community. Criminal organisations do not only carry out more or less visible crimes; they can also attack the heart of the economy in a society and force honest people to suffer unfair competition that puts them out of the market. I have to say, with some pride, that at least in this area, Italy can provide an excellent example to be followed in Europe. Thanks to intensive work over the last three years by our Minister for the Interior, Mr Maroni, we have achieved excellent results. In the last year alone, over 9 000 members of the mafia have been arrested, 32 of whom had been on the run for a long time. In addition, over 4 000 assets with a total value of over EUR 4 billion were seized.
It may be true that Italy suffers from the problem of the mafia more than other countries, but it has put in place the necessary tools to try and combat it. This report reiterates and calls for the use of many measures that are already in place in our country, and for this reason, I decided to support it."@en1
