"Mr President, when reality and ideology cannot be reconciled, it is generally the ideology that is at fault. That came to mind when I read this report, which talks in grandiose terms about the common culture of criminal law that characterises the EU’s Member States, about the fantastic positive aspects of mutual recognition, and so on. Extolling these two facts must undoubtedly be an expression of a very particular European ideology, because out in the real world, the problems involving differences between the criminal law systems of the 27 Member States are massive, and there has been no attempt to reconcile the rules of the different countries to eliminate these problems – rather the contrary. Looking at what has happened in connection with the European arrest warrant, at what happened after joint legislation on terrorism was introduced and so on, it is clear that there are huge problems and, in view of these, we should not be lauding and opening up the way for a common European system of criminal law, but should instead be sending out a call to arms and going in the opposite direction. That is why I voted against this report."@en1
