"I have two main reasons for voting against the proposal.
1. Actions to combat the callousness that finds expression in racism and xenophobia should not be translated into sanctions under criminal law such as the proposal is based upon. Criminalisation is, at best, ineffective and, at worst, counterproductive. It also has a number of damaging effects, including that of seriously impairing freedom of expression.
2. A “common EU criminal law approach”, which the proposal is based upon, has no legal base in Title VI of the Treaty on European Union. In reality, we are talking here about such an extensive regulation of both ends and means that a ‘framework’ decision, as such, cannot be taken. Add to this the fact that “racism and xenophobia” are not included in the types of crime that can be regulated pursuant to Article 31(e) (“organised crime, terrorism and illicit drug trafficking”). The framework decision therefore contravenes the Treaty and entails a clear infringement of the Danish exemption in connection with legal and internal affairs."@en1
