"Mr President, the French and Swedish initiative on cooperation between national bodies in the fields of juvenile delinquency, crime and drugs is a follow-up to the Tampere Summit.
This European strategy is based on the principle that EU intervention is bound to give added value to Member State policy. But today we are facing a tangled web of programmes and a mountain of incoherent measures. In the field of justice and home affairs alone, we are now being proposed a sixth programme, Hippocrates. We can rightly ask whether having more of these programmes is the way to fight crime more effectively, especially since the budgets for the programmes are so derisory. What will be done with the millions of euros allocated to this programme every year? Furthermore, Hippocrates is not easy to understand. On the question of financing, for example, the share financed from the Community is not to exceed 70% of the total cost. Given that the Commission's partners could be universities, administrations or NGOs, how is the remaining 30% to be financed?
Nothing very precise is said about the definition of the proposed forms of prevention or of organised crime either. Some of the measures are, in fact, rather anecdotal, such as the provision in Article 3 concerning the annual European Crime Prevention Awards.
Measures are therefore being created and introduced with no regard to their relevance or effectiveness. It is time to stand back and think, rather than rushing ahead, and to take the necessary steps to establish effective cooperation between the national prevention policies."@en1
