"There is really no secret about the fact that negotiations are being conducted between the EU and the United States on cooperation in criminal matters. The Council took an open decision to embark upon these negotiations on 20 September 2001 and, following the usual relevant procedure, the Council gave the Presidency a precise negotiating mandate on 25 April of this year. It is on this basis that the Presidency conducted negotiations. On 28 November 2002, the Council was informed of how far the negotiations concerning a draft had progressed, and due note was taken of this. The Council agreed upon the strategy to be followed in subsequent negotiations, and I can tell you that the issue will be on the agenda of the General Affairs Council’s meeting tomorrow. In accordance with Article 39, paragraph 2 of the Treaty on European Union, the Presidency intends to inform Parliament of the negotiations concerning this matter once the negotiations have reached an advanced enough stage for such information to make sense. It will do so even though Article 24 of the Treaty on European Union does not oblige the Council to consult Parliament. With regard to the national parliaments, it is, in accordance with the latter’s own rules, the Member States’ task to inform or consult them. That is all I can say at the present time."@en1
