"Briefly, I would like to have it put on record that our Group has rejected the Newton Dunn report on account of the fact we did not agree with the legal basis to this report. What we have here is a classic ruling on the establishment of a process in one of the various pillars of our Treaty principles. Mr Newton Dunn chose the first pillar whereas we were of the opinion that the procedure should be left in the third pillar. The reason for this is that in the third pillar the group of offenders who are guilty of counterfeiting travel documents is more wide-ranging than in the first pillar where Mr Newton Dunn had established it, where the focus is exclusively on the tracking of the counterfeiting of documents for illegal immigrants. That may be appropriate from the ideological viewpoint but is politically wrong because someone who, as a drugs dealer, counterfeits documents must also be criminally prosecuted. In this respect, we did not want to vote against Mr Newton Dunn’s practical proposals with regard to the combating of document counterfeiting
which we support
as far as we are concerned it is exclusively a matter of the legal basis. Thank you for your attention. I would also like to thank Messrs Poettering and Pirker for their attention."@en1
