"Madam President, may I take this opportunity to thank all who have contributed to this debate and report. Each Member State will, of course, have its own means of freezing and confiscating the proceeds of crime. I must take this opportunity to praise the work of the Organised Crime Task Force in Northern Ireland for its role in apprehending dangerous counterfeiters, smugglers and traffickers and seizing their criminal assets.
It is also to my disappointment and dismay that two of the main governing parties in Northern Ireland saw fit to block the implementation of the National Crime Agency. The NCA has a dedicated unit operating in the UK, although it is now operationally diminished in my own constituency. Indeed the local police service has said in relation to trafficking that cracks are beginning to open up, as the police are missing out on operational assistance which the NCA could and would have brought. I cannot think of any logical reason for these parties’ decision, which does not reflect the ethos of Northern Ireland or the EU in fighting serious cross-border organised crime."@en1
