The von Boetticher report indicates agreement in principle with the initiative by Denmark. The latter contained essentially helpful amendments to the Europol Convention. Nonetheless, the von Boetticher report eventually rejects this initiative. The reasons given are typical of the European Parliament’s approach. It is against a protocol that would amend a convention. I refer to intergovernmental legal instruments respecting national sovereignty. It argues for a European constitution to be adopted first. It is hoped such a constitution would allow all these amendments to be handled by means of a qualified majority of members in the framework of the Community system.
In our view, however, issues of police cooperation must remain within the competence of the States and under their control, together with all issues relating to the movement of persons and immigration. The European cooperation required should therefore be organised in the framework of a so-called interparliamentary pillar. This is what we suggested in our contribution to the Convention, and I would refer you to our Internet site:
. Decisions would then be taken directly by the national parliaments networked together.
We were therefore unable to endorse the von Boetticher report."@en1
