"Mr President, I would like to congratulate all those involved in producing this report. There are few corners of my constituency that have not been touched by the challenges posed by organised criminal gangs, which are often inextricably linked to paramilitary activities. While the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has had significant successes in tackling money laundering and disrupting the activities of organised criminal gangs, I have to say that the revision of this directive is extremely welcome.
In order to respond effectively to the evolution of criminal activities – particularly sophisticated money laundering operations – it is extremely important that we adopt the legislative package, which will strengthen the ability to respond effectively to this situation in a flexible way. The famous Northern Bank robbery in Northern Ireland, where GBP[nbsp ]25 million was stolen from the Northern Bank, is just one example of how this criminal activity goes on. We have cigarette smuggling, human smuggling and drugs all inextricably linked to terrorist organisations."@en1
