"We consider that the establishment of an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice is of significance for the European Union’s future, and the Council’s initiative in raising the question at the summit meeting in Tampere is welcome.
The particular resolution with which the European Parliament is dealing contains a series of important standpoints which Finland, as the country which is at present holding the EU Presidency, together with the European Council as a whole, ought to consider in advance of the summit. We therefore lend our support to the major part of the proposals which the resolution contains, but with the odd exception. In our view, paragraph 3 deals too generally with the integration into the relevant Pillar of the EU of police co-operation and co-operation in connection with criminal law. We think that there is good reason for seeing police co-operation above all as being between the Member States.
With regard to paragraph 19 about providing Europol with opportunities in the operational sphere, we think that this paragraph is to be interpreted as meaning that any such development of Europol co-operation should be for the purpose of promoting the fight against cross-border crime, but must in that case take place within the framework of the Member States’ right to full control over police activity within their own borders."@en1
