".
We are about to embark on the second stage of implementing the area of freedom, security and justice. In meeting the citizens’ concerns for more freedom and more security, a legal, and more importantly, political and institutional, balance must be struck.
This is with particular regard to three crucial questions:
credibility: I am aware of the difficulties and delays that have come to light in a number of areas. This demonstrates that there is much to do in order to raise the level of trust among the Member States. I do not agree, however, that the best course of action is to develop initiatives outside the Community framework, such as Schengen+ (between seven Member States), which undermine the development of mutual trust among the Member States.
legitimacy: The low levels of democratic legitimacy are appalling. Parliament must be genuinely involved in drawing up legislation.
effectiveness: Objectives, priorities and responsibilities must be clearly set out, whilst ensuring that efforts are not duplicated and not spread too thinly.
Lastly, maintaining current legislation in the expectation that the Constitutional Treaty would be ratified has served to exacerbate the existing democratic shortfall. There are a number of aspects that should have, but have not, been addressed, such as the democratic supervision of Europol and Eurojust."@en1
