Mr President, I will be very brief. This convention is the first global instrument on combating criminal networks to contain universal definitions of fundamental notions of criminal law in the field of the fight against organised crime. The international community now has a comprehensive instrument with which to fight in a concerted way against the rise in organised crime. I therefore call on those Member States of the European Union that have not yet ratified this convention to do so quickly.
