Amendment 107 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Is dissatisfied with the extremely limited impact on the legislative systems of the Member States of Framework Decision 2008/841/JHA on organised crime, which has not made any significant improvement to national laws or to operational cooperation to counter organised crime; stresses, therefore, the need to review and strengthen the legislative framework and calls on the Commission to submit, by the end of 2012, a proposal for a directive which contains a less general definition of organised crime and manages better to identify the key features of the phenomenon; requests that, as regards the offence of membership of a criminal organisation, whilst showing due respect for different legislative systems, the abolition of the current dual approach (which criminalises both membership and conspiracy) be proposed and a range of habitual offences committed by organised crime be identified, which, regardless of the maximum sentence permitted in the Member States, could be deemed to constitute such a criminal offence;
