Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters: framework programme AGIS for 2003-2007

The European Parliament adopted a resolution based on the report drafted by Carlos COELHO (EPP-ED, Portugal) on police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. (Please refer to the document dated 19/03/02.) Parliament curtailed the length of the programme, stipulating that it must expire on 31/12/06 rather than 2007. It could be extended following the approval of the budgetary and legislative authority. An interim evaluation of the programme's implementation needs to be completed by 30/06/04, and a final evaluation by 30/06/07. The results of any studies or research which have been cofinanced under the programme must be published on the Internet.�
