Vi må ikke glemme, at Europas borgere har en særlig interesse i, at den offentlige og private sikkerhed garanteres, og derfor mener jeg, at det er Den Europæiske Unions ansvar at bekæmpe den organiserede kriminalitet ved at styrke det retslige og politimæssige samarbejde.
We must not forget that it is especially important to the citizens of Europe that their public and private safety be guaranteed, and I therefore believe that it is the European Union's responsibility to combat organized crime by strengthening police and judicial cooperation.
