OPINION No 3/2008

of the Court of Auditors of the European Communities on a proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) No 549/69 determining the categories of officials and other servants of the European Communities to whom the provisions of Article 12, the second paragraph of Article 13 and Article 14 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the Communities apply

(2008/C 199/01)

THE COURT OF AUDITORS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 248(4) and 291 thereof,

Having regard to the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Communities, and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Having regard to the Commission proposal of 23 May 2008 (1),

Having regard to the Council's request for an opinion on this proposal, received at the Court on 6 June 2008,

Whereas the purpose of the Commission proposal is that Europol officials should not enjoy immunity from legal proceedings when participating in joint investigation teams created by Member States in the context of criminal investigations falling under the competence of Europol,

HAS ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING OPINION:

The proposed amendment, which provides that immunity from legal proceedings shall not apply to Europol staff placed at the disposal of a joint investigation team calls for no comments from the Court.

This opinion was adopted by the Court of Auditors in Luxembourg at its meeting of 17 July 2008.

For the Court of Auditors
