STRENGTHENING CROSS-BORDER POLICE COOPERATION
(6930/05)
Letter from the Chairman to Tony McNulty
MP, Minister of State, Home Office
Thank you for your letter of 19 July 2006[115]
which Sub-Committee F (Home Affairs) of the House of Lords Committee
on the European Union considered at a meeting on 25 October.
We note that the long drawn out negotiations
on this instrument have come to a dead end over the very issues
that we had highlighted when we first examined the proposal at
a meeting on 26 October 2005. We are astonished that it has taken
Member States one year to realise that no convincing case for
this proposal could be made.
Given that the proposal has now been dropped,
the Committee has decided to clear this document from scrutiny.
