EDD-Gruppen har stemt imod denne henstilling, eftersom en virkeliggørelse af henstillingen er ensbetydende med, at vitale og afgørende politikområder - den strafferetlige og politimæssige regulering af vores almene livsforhold - endeligt fratages medlemslandene og overdrages til EU.
The Group for a Europe of Democracies and Diversities has voted against this recommendation because implementing it would be synonymous with finally withdrawing vital and crucial policy areas - namely policing and criminal law as these relate to the ordering of our ordinary lives - from the jurisdiction of the Member States and transferring them to the EU.
