"Mr President, I have abstained on this report for a number of reasons, not least as summed up in its title: An EU approach to criminal law. There is a growing buzz of discussion over the area of criminal law in this Chamber and in the EU generally. That discussion very often does not include enough emphasis on the proper place for Member States’ subsidiarity. This is always a consideration for my political group, and most particularly for my national delegation of British Conservatives.
Of course we should look at the implications of creating such EU criminal law, and the political and economic costs, but we know from so much experience that looking at, reviewing and developing an approach so very often turns into an overweening desire to legislate, regulate and impose. I simply cannot support that. Whilst I see that many of the individual issues in this report are well-crafted and thoughtful, it simply does not outweigh my belief that each Member State is best placed to make its own decisions."@en1
