"Mr President, the two reports by Mr Deprez on Europol provide an opportunity for the European Parliament to demand that it be given responsibilities for control over this body. In February, Parliament was given quite strong support by the Commission on this issue. In its communication entitled ‘Democratic Control over Europol’, the Commission proposes to strengthen the European Parliament’s powers of control, but at the same time creates a diversion by referring to the creation of a joint committee consisting of members of the European Parliament and the national parliaments, an appealing reform by all appearances, but one that is in fact meaningless, since the proposed joint committee would have no power. In our view, in order to achieve coherence, the control of European police cooperation, such as that of national police forces, must instead be granted to the national parliaments. This control might well be organised under the inter-parliamentary pillar, the creation of which was proposed by the cross-party group SOS Démocratie to the Convention that is currently considering the future of the Union. I shall return to this point, Mr President, in my explanation of vote."@en1
