lpv:translated text	"Mr President, our debate here today is not only about data protection. It is also about the future of police and judicial cooperation in Europe. For years, the Justice and Home Affairs Ministers have been promoting cross-border cooperation between the law enforcement agencies. Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with that; in fact, it is essential. In all these years, however, the European Parliament has made it clear that common standards for the rule of law and the protection of fundamental rights are indispensable in this context. However, the Justice and Home Affairs Ministers from our 27 governments, who, regrettably, are absent today, are still ignoring these demands. Instead, with the principle of mutual recognition of police measures, they are promoting what I can only describe as ‘blind faith’ in the legal systems of the EU Member States. They are ignoring the fact that there are still stark differences between the standards in place in the Member States, particularly in relation to data protection. The present draft directive, which concerns data protection rules in the area of police cooperation in Europe, is intended to remedy this parlous state of affairs at long last. In truth, it is hardly a major step forward for the rights of the persons concerned, but it is an important first step, in that it would end the dangerous ‘race to the bottom’ in this area of data protection. With the onward march of information exchange, the risk of massive violations of fundamental rights is ever-present. Despite this situation, the Council is refusing to act swiftly and contribute to the process of framing the directive. As a result, citizens will continue to cast doubt on the legitimacy of further measures for EU-wide police cooperation. We need common minimum standards in order to move closer to enhanced police and judicial cooperation."@en1
