-Caveat Lector- The Stepping Stones of the NWO..next step a unified police force..What was it the DIcke (LOL and figures ) Said?

Lauded as the next bold step in the union's history after the successful launch of a single currency, the package seeks to bring European integration to areas previously left entirely to national Governments. "We fired a starting gun on developing a common area of justice," German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said, after two days of talks with fellow EU heads of Government in the industrial city of Tampere. By focusing on the fight against organised crime and illegal immigration, as well as on enhancing freedom to travel, the measures adopted at the summit aim to bring the union closer to its often sceptical citizens. The EU agreed to simplify extradition rules to crack down on international criminals, although it refused to go as far as endorsing some members' suggestions that extradition hearings in court be replaced by a "eurowarrant." The EU nations will also start recognising one another's judicial decisions, such as court rulings, and introduce a basic level of legal aid for people involved in court proceedings outside their home country. Police forces of member countries will be able to co-operate more closely through a taskforce of international senior police officers plotting joint actions against cross-border crime. The EU leaders agreed to forge a common set of asylum and immigration policies by 2004, which would strike a balance between making Europe a safer place for ordinary people and rooting out illegal immigration and cross-border crime. The EU leaders also reached a preliminary consensus on inviting six new hopefuls to start talks on entering the rich Western club - Malta, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania and Slovakia. Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia are already in the pipeline. - REUTERS © Copyright 1999, NZ Herald We are about to go on a Journey.
