Combating organized crime: mechanism for evaluating international undertakings at national level. Report

1999/0916(COS)
The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Enrico FERRI (EPP/ED, I). (Please refer to the previous text). Moreover, in addition to the amendments set out in the decision of the committee responsible, the Parliament also calls for the future Eurojust unit to be open to all the applicant countries and, possibly in due course, to all the Council of Europe Member States in order to avoid creating new obstacles to the proper functioning of judicial cooperation. It once again highlighted that the Member States, pending the harmonisation of criminal laws and the achievement of greater compatibility of procedures, should guarantee the greatest possible degree of practical mutual cooperation between judicial authorities. �
