	European Public Prosecutor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The post of European Public Prosecutor is one proposed for the European Union, as set forth in the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, pending ratification.
		There is debate in the UK about the establishment of such a role - many suggest that such a civil law office would be at odds with the principles of common law.
		This article about the European Union operations is a stub.

	SCADPlus: European Public Prosecutor
		The European Public Prosecutor would be appointed by the Council, acting by a qualified majority with the assent of the European Parliament on the basis of a list of candidates provided by the Commission, for a non-renewable term of six years.
		There was also keen debate on the establishment of a European Public Prosecutor in the European Convention that drafted the Treaty on a Constitution for Europe, presented on 18 July 2003 and signed by the Heads of State or Government in Rome on 29 October 2004.
		There would be synergies between the European Public Prosecutor's investigation resources and instruments currently being developed for judicial cooperation in Europe (European arrest warrant) on the basis of mutual recognition of investigation instruments existing in the national systems (searches and seizures, for example).

		The European Commission (formally the Commission of the European Communities) is the executive body of the European Union.

	George W. Bush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Public perceptions of Bush were reputedly of lacking interest in foreign affairs.
		Bush failed to convince the public that the Social Security program was in crisis[7], and he failed to generate political momentum for his inititiative in face of rising criticism of the plan, and concerns over the Iraq War and the budget deficit.
		He appointed long-time advisor Karen Hughes to oversee a global public relations campaign to improve the image of the U.S. and significantly increased development aid to countries with a focus on encouraging democracy and human rights.

		Concerning the basis on which the office of the European Prosecutor should be created, she highlighted the importance of the concepts of transparency, effectiveness in investigation and coordination with the European Commission’s Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF).
		In her opinion, the Working Group JHA of the European Convention should be aware of the major necessity for this system to become a reality, and for the creation of the European Public Prosecutor.
		He pointed out the enormous discretional activities existing in the functions belonging to the Prosecutor in the different member states, in comparison with the ones belonging to the judges, and that this is an extremely relevant issue in the EU level developments.

	Guardian \| New sticking points for Blair in draft text
		The convention has also called for a European public prosecutor, increases in the power of the European parliament in more than 30 policy areas and the removal of some 20 national vetoes.
		Elmar Brok, the German chairman of the conservative group in the European parliament, called the result so far "extraordinarily disappointing" and attacked the big member states for pursuing their national interests at the expense of the union.
		Britain is broadly happy with calls for more powers of "co-decision" for the European parliament, which means greater democratic input for EU legislation proposed by the European commission and agreed by the policy-making council of ministers.

	A European Public Prosecutor would be a dangerous distraction by Monica Roma
		European governments are currently negotiating a new EU constitution, and the EPP is one of the new institutions proposed in that document.
		All Eurojust prosecutors both those located in The Hague and the ones working in the national branches would preserve their national status and accountability, and work in accordance with the laws of their country.
		Invariably, the other national prosecutors are busy with their own cases and are not inclined to make a priority of fulfilling a request from a (typically) unknown third party.

	Assemblée nationale - European Conference against Money Laundering
		We had discussed the topic of a European public prosecutor, and many of you, often for opposing reasons, regretted that it was so vaguely and briefly described in the text.
		The principle of the European warrant for arrest was eliminated from the declaration that we were presented, due to the ongoing negotiations.
		Firstly, we feel that the European public prosecutor and Eurojust are not necessarily two distinct entities, given that the latter could very well become a European public prosecutor at a later time.

		In most European countries, public debate on justice and law is entangled in sterile and demagogic quarrels about an alleged "republic of judges".
		All European states, arqueboutés on their sovereign power continue to make the principle of distrust prevail in their judicial relations, although criminals are already taking huge benefits of the free movements of people, goods and money on the European territory.
		Judges and prosecutors have no vocation to take the place of party leaders and elected politicians, who are responsible for law making and who decide public spending on law enforcement.

		Appointment - The Green Paper suggests that the Prosecutor be appointed by the EU Council acting by qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission with the assent of the European Parliament.
		The paper proposes that the offences which might fall within the jurisdiction of the European Prosecutor be contained in Conventions and Protocols dealing with the protection of the financial interests of the European communities and should encompass fraud, corruption and money laundering in connection with those offences.

		The original text says the post [of EU public prosecutor] can only be created by unanimity, so it is hard to object to it".

		In the Commons Flint said "the prosecution of individuals must remain a national competence and we do not support proposals such as a European public prosecutor." However, as part of the EU Constitution the Government has agreed to provisions allowing just such a post to be created.
		In a European Union Committee hearing in June, Europe Minister Denis MacShane confirmed that, "this treaty provision allows the possibility, if we all come to a moment in time when we think that setting up this European Public Prosecutor office would be a good idea, for it to happen.
		The European Parliament also decided this week to spend 6.5 million euro to fund "EU political parties." Eurosceptic MEPs are threatening to take legal action after they were excluded from the funding (European Voice, 14 October).

	Sovereignty fears as Prodi backs a public prosecutor [Free Republic]
		PROPOSALS for a European Public Prosecutor and a common justice area in Europe were among a package of sweeping measures considered by European Union leaders yesterday on the opening day of their special summit in Finland.
		But there is growing momentum for the creation of a prosecutor, who would be backed up by a prosecution office in each member state, and would have unrestricted jurisdiction over cases involving EU fraud.
		He said: "The idea that there is any agenda to dig up centuries of history which lie behind our different criminal and civil legal systems is nonsense." He said the agenda represented "sensible and practical" co-operation among members to tackle smuggling, money laundering and other international offences.

		The fact of the matter is that in Britain and in Ireland, our legal systems are based on a common law system, while in many continental countries it is based on a civil legal system.
