Police cooperation is a key factor in providing European citizens with a high level of security within the area of freedom, security and justice. Accordingly, the police services must be continually developed and a wide range of common quality standards for policing methods throughout Europe must be adopted.
The balance sheet on the first three years of the European Police College (CEPOL) is clearly positive – considerable advances have been made. This is in spite of the difficulties caused by the absence of legal status and of a seat, and by the fact that its budget has been financed by Member State contributions. Decisions on the issues of the seat and the legal personality were adopted in 2004.
The purpose of the proposal before use is to transform CEPOL into a Union body with legal personality and status; to accord it increased powers and Community funding; to provide it with its own seat, departments and staff, who will be subjected to EU rules and regulations; to replace voting by unanimity with voting by majority; and to provide for the use of all official languages and access to documents.
I endorse the Demetriou report and the amendments tabled by the rapporteur aimed at minimising the risks involved in centralising the system. I must also highlight that training provided by CEPOL is to be complemented at national level and that the national institutions must continue to work as a network."@en1
