Police and judicial cooperation: accreditation of forensic laboratory activities (DNA and fingerprints). Framework Decision. Initiative Sweden and Spain

2009/0806(CNS)

The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs adopted the report drawn up by Timothy KIRKHOPE (ECR, UK) on the initiative of the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Spain for the adoption of a Council framework decision on accreditation of forensic laboratory activities, calling on the European Parliament to reject the proposed initiative.

The Members consider that this draft framework decision raises issues in terms of the correct legal base.

They therefore call on the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Spain to withdraw their initiative.
