"I voted in favour of setting up the special committee on organised crime, corruption and money laundering. Its establishment also responds to the requests contained in the resolution on the EU’s efforts to combat corruption, initiated by myself and adopted by the European Parliament on 15 September 2011. Organised crime and financial fraud cannot exist without corruption. Organised crime structures use corruption as a tool to gain access to undue resources and information and to make sure that criminal acts cannot be detected and proven. Money laundering acts provide the ‘fuel’ that organised crime structures use to perpetuate corruption. It is obvious that these three types of criminal acts can only be tackled simultaneously. European citizens want to see concrete measures to fight crime in Europe.
The committee will examine the extent of organised crime, corruption and money laundering and its impact on the Union, the efficiency of EU home affairs agencies (such as Europol, COSI and Eurojust) in achieving their goals, and will propose measures to tackle these acts simultaneously. I hope the committee’s activity will have concrete and visible effects for citizens, reducing the number of criminal acts and imposing effective penalties."@en1
