2007/0802(CNS)

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Agustín DIAZ DE MERA GARCIA CONSUEGRA (EPP-ED, ES) on the initiative by the Republic of Finland for adoption of a Council decision amending the Council Act of 3 November 1998 adopting rules applicable to Europol analysis files.

The report contained two amendments:

  • the Management Board shall only authorize the transmission of the analysis results once the Joint Supervisory Body has communicated its comments concerning the opening of such a file;
  • the mechanisms of control will be kept in accordance with Article 15 (4) and (5) of Council Act of 3 November 1998 adopting rules applicable to Europol analysis files (1999/C 26/1). The Commission had wanted these clauses deleted.
