It is encouraging that cooperation within Europol can be made more efficient through its being possible to make decisions by means of qualified majority voting and codecision on the part of the European Parliament. We wish, however, to make it clear that, in the future too, possible operations on the part of Europol must take place through intergovernmental cooperation. This view also accords with draft Article 22 of the Europol Convention, presented by the EU Convention’s Praesidium.
