"The report is in keeping with the ruling by the Court and the relevant Commission communication. Like the European Commission, the report interprets this ruling as granting the authority to introduce criminal provisions in all Community policies containing binding rules, in order to ensure that they are applied. This is a serious step towards the introduction of minimum criminal rules at EU level by the legislative institutions of the Union or, in other words, the 'communitisation' of criminal law. Paragraph 4 in particular basically proposes the adoption of common criminal law in the EU, thereby depriving the Member States of their exclusive sovereign right to determine for themselves what sort of behaviour they consider to be a criminal offence and of their right to determine the type and limits of criminal sanctions. In this way, one of the basic constituent elements of national grass-roots sovereignty is being seriously curtailed and one of the fundamental characteristics of the philosophy of the European Constitution, namely the precedence of Community law over national legislation and national constitutions, is being reintroduced through the back door, in order to directly impose on the people of Europe the will and strategic political ambitions of European monopolistic capital, which have now been raised to the status of law. That is why we voted against the report."@en1
