"Criminal law is a sensitive area in which the differences between the national systems remain substantial. However, the cross-border nature of many offences makes it essential to adopt criminal law measures at EU level in order to prevent criminals from being able to hide behind borders or take advantage of the differences between the national legal systems. The existence of basic rules also contributes to strengthening mutual trust between the Member States, which is essential, not only if there is to be cooperation between the various authorities, but also in order for the principle of mutual recognition to function effectively. We must take advantage of the new opportunities offered by the Treaty of Lisbon for developing EU-level criminal law that is homogenous, consistent and transparent, and that is of genuine benefit for the European public, reinforcing trust in the exercise of the rights to freedom of movement and acquisition of goods and services from other Member States. I am therefore voting for this report, which contributes to the debate on the development of a genuinely common legal culture in the EU for combating crime that can complement the national legal traditions without replacing them and reinforce mutual trust."@en1
