".
We feel that organised crime, its multiple networks and trafficking activities, money laundering and tax havens, must be combated as a matter of priority.
We nonetheless share the concerns expressed by members of our Group regarding certain aspects of this report, including the following:
the extension of the definition of a criminal organisation, in the context of the fight against organised crime, to cover groups of people whose purpose is not that of financial or other material gain, circumventing the definition in the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime, which classifies organisations whose purpose is financial or material gain under the heading of organised crime – thereby excluding political or social motivations;
the increased possibility of incriminating people in a way that may lead to ambiguity; in other words, people not involved in criminal activities could be incriminated;
much remains to be done to combat organised crime, given the resources currently available, and the report advocates the creation of a ‘European Union police force’, while sidestepping the underlying causes of organised crime.
We wish to highlight our disappointment that amendments tabled by our Group were rejected. We particularly regret the rejection of the amendment aimed at guaranteeing parliamentary control over Europol’s activities."@en1
