SUGGESTIONS

The Committee on Legal Affairs calls on the Committee on Budgetary Control, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions into its motion for a resolution:

1. Encourages the services of the European Public Prosecutor and the European Delegated Prosecutors to continue their work in a coordinated fashion in order to supervise effectively the processing of the data they gather and enforcement of individuals’ data protection rights;

2. Regrets the lack of appreciation shown by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office in its handling of waiver-of-immunity requests made to the European Parliament in 2022;

3. Stresses the independence of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and the particular responsibility that that imposes on it towards the other institutions and the public at large in areas falling with the remit of the legal system;

4. Points out that it was set up recently, but nonetheless invites it, in the official relations it is called upon to develop with national and European institutions, to gain an insight into the various procedures they implement and to comply with them as long as that does not undermine its status and tasks.
