"We need to strengthen the response to organised crime both in the European Union and beyond, and to do this there needs to be joint action and better coordination between the relevant EU institutions and between the Member States. I voted in favour of the report because it sets out a whole range of specific proposals on how to increase the deterrent effect and make punitive measures more effective, without violating fundamental rights and freedoms. The report also takes into account the external dimension of organised crime. Corruption is deep-rooted in some third countries as a part of the culture of social relations. The EU should not only fully exploit existing instruments to promote the combating of corruption in third countries, but should also ensure that procedures in third countries for the distribution and use of assistance provided by the EU satisfy the high standards of transparency and publicity applied by the EU. It should be noted that as well as greater transparency of procedures and publicity of all information on public finances, public access to data on offences committed and the persons involved would also be an effective measure. Corruption is linked to organised crime, and Member States and the EU should therefore make additional efforts to reduce tolerance in society, even for low level corruption."@en1
