lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, as we debate an area of freedom, security and justice it is somewhat derisory that this proposed area extends all over Europe but does not appear to be available here in the European Parliament. For Members to attack the purely personal views – and the right to express those views – of Commission candidates because they do not comply with their own is an example of intolerance which demeans our Assembly and the parties concerned. If those are the principles of socialism and liberalism, they are deeply undesirable in this place. In relation to the main issues, we do not need a prescriptive envelope. It benefits us sometimes, in our area of freedom, security and justice, to have more bilateral and multilateral agreements, such as the agreement on joint investigation teams, an initiative I was proud to be involved in at the time. However, we do not cooperate enough. It is arguable that if we concentrated on more cooperation between Member States and organisations, instead of creating complex and over-reaching structures, we would achieve more practical results for our citizens and we would thereby encourage greater acceptance of the sort of Europe that they can really accept and benefit from. In conclusion, I do not think I voted for Mr Vitorino. I do not think I even liked him very much at first. However, I want to make it clear that I think he has been an extremely effective and cooperative Commissioner and that he respected this House. That, in my view, certainly puts him into a top category and I wish him the very best for the future."@en1
