Iras Tilkanas
Council Speaker and Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen -
Good evening Councillors and specially to Cllr. Dina and the Speaker of the European Council.
Firstly, I would like to thank Councillor Dina for recovering one of my old proposals from my Internal Affairs Commissioner era, that took place between 2020 and 2021. Back to those dates, I proposed the creation of EUROPOL, which I wanted to become "the common link between police forces all around Europe". Now, with a way different name, the Sertian Councillor is making this real.
I only wanted to speak for two reasons: the first one, to thank Councillor Dina for her effort and her commitment to an idea that fell into ignorance after I left the office and none of my successors ever resumed. The second one, to show my support for the idea. Maybe this should have been pushed forward by the European Commission, or jointly, but the thing is that this proposal has been made and that is a reality.
With that said, I hope it passes. And congratulations, Councillor, for proposing such an important act today.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Premier Commissioner -
