Brussels, 18/10/2005 (Agence Europe) - In Brussels on 17 and 18 October, the European Parliament continued its series of talks with the national parliamentarians of the Member States, on ways of improving legal and police cooperation in Europe. Having held a long discussion on Monday on the subject of holding data of a personal nature (EUROPE 9050), the debate between the European and national members of Parliament then moved on to three main subjects: -Eurojust. Although the parliamentarians recognise the vital role played by Eurojust, they brought attention to its lack of efficiency due to insufficient political goodwill. In the view of Jean-Marie Cavada (EPP-ED), President of the Parliamentary committee on Civil Liberties, justice and home affairs of the EP, "it is unthinkable that Eurojust has no binding powers over the legal authorities of the Member States". The president of Eurojust, Michael G. Kennedy, also stressed that Spain and Greece had not yet included the decisions of the Council of 2002 on the creation and application of Eurojust in their national legislation; -Europol. The role of Europol also came in for considerable criticism from the parliamentarians. Stating that "Europol is controlled by absolutely nobody", Hubert Haenel (a French member of Parliament) called for increased control on the part of the European institutions and national Parliaments of the EU. French member Jacques Floch commented that "if progress made by Europol is not sufficient, we should not be in too much in a hurry, because we don't want in a European-style FBI"; - The European Arrest Warrant. Adeline Hazan (PES, France) referred to an assessment by the European Commission which showed that in one year, 2603 mandates had been issued, 653 people had been arrested and 104 people handed over. The main problem is due to refusals by the Constitutional Court is to recognise the legislation of such a mandate.
