From our point of view, co-operation at Europol level would be much more significant because that is practical between police forces. On the point made by the Chairman in regard to motivation, while, as stated, the information provided by the Commission in this regard is not clear, it does appear to envisage this as a parallel measure to the creation of the European Public Prosecutor's Office, EPPO. One can only assume the Commission sees it as very much part of the same package of measures. Is that a fair assessment?
