". Despite the fact that, on almost all points, I agree substantially with and subscribe to the rapporteur’s concerns, I have decided to vote against the report because I, like the Committee on Legal Affairs and the Internal Market, feel that the proposed text breaches the principle of subsidiarity and that, particularly at a time when the Convention is discussing this matter in the context of the future of the European Union and is attempting to clarify the definitive distribution of competences between the Union and the Member States, all Community bodies – and Parliament in particular – have a responsibility to demonstrate scrupulous respect for this fundamental principle. Furthermore, I also believe – as does the Committee on Legal Affairs – that legislation is needed to regulate these two types of crime, corruption in the public and private sectors, which will enable us to establish a more coherent and effective regulatory framework. It should be added that the European Commission is getting ready to present an initiative in the form of a communication to this end. I believe that this initiative will provide some positive approaches to consider, specifically with regard to the need for coordinated action by the European bodies responsible for encouraging cooperation between Member States in suppressing crimes of corruption, such as Eurojust, Europol, OLAF and the European judicial network, in both the public and private sectors. Indeed, coordinated action between these bodies ought to strengthen action by national police forces and facilitate cross-border investigations on the ground, through the sharing of Member States’ information capabilities."@en1
