"I welcome this very necessary report. While overall crime rates have been steadily falling throughout Europe since 2002, according to Eurostat 2010 crime statistics, drug trafficking has generally risen. The sale of illegal drugs is a main revenue generator for organised criminals, feeding the underworld that also promotes human trafficking. This is the kind of serious crime that requires urgent attention.
We must not allow criminals to use the EU policy of free movement of people and goods to their illegal benefit: the 27 EU Member States must share information and cooperate in the fight against crime. We must be particularly vigilant and step up our efforts now – criminals often being the first to profit in tough economic times as they tend to use financial enticements or manipulation to recruit young and vulnerable people.
The Treaty of Lisbon provides for greater cooperation involving judicial systems, police forces and the authorities responsible for countering transnational organised crime (Europol, Eurojust, OLAF and the European Public Prosecutor). Through this report, Parliament has supported the strengthening of those structures involved in fighting organised crime, and of relations with other international institutions such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Interpol. Vitally, the internationalisation of efforts to combat mafia-style criminal organisations is also prioritised."@en1
