"I voted in favour of this European Parliament recommendation because the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Iceland and the Kingdom of Norway on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters between the Member States of the European Union is aimed at improving judicial cooperation between the EU Member States, Norway and Iceland by applying almost all the provisions contained in the 2000 Convention on mutual legal assistance between the Member States and its Protocol adopted in 2001. This agreement includes provisions on hearing of witnesses, experts and accused persons by telephone or video conference, controlled deliveries, covert investigations and joint investigation teams and requests for information on banking transactions, bank accounts and their monitoring to combat organised crime. The European Parliament supports this agreement because this document extends to Norway and Iceland rules on mutual legal assistance that are already in force and mostly applied in the Member States. This will, undoubtedly, help combat cross-border crime. It will also enhance cooperation with these two countries that are already in the Schengen area and, in the case of Iceland, currently in negotiations for accession to the European Union."@en1
