Statewatch opening summary:
A plethora of groups, agencies and centres have been set up by the EU since the entry into force of the Amsterdam Treaty. One of the first was the Police Chiefs Operational Task Force – as it was originally called – set up after the Tampere Summit in October 1999. Recommendation no 44 called for:
« the establishment of a European Police Chiefs Operational Task Force to exchange, in cooperation with Europol, experience, best practices and information on current trends in cross-border crime and contribute to the planning of operative actions »
In the event the PCTF has interpreted « contributing » to the « planning » of operations as planning operations – as the Belgian delegation observed as early as May 2000 it is « essentially geared towards the operational aspects of police work ».
To say it was « set up » sums up its legal basis – it was « set up » and first met in April 2000 in Lisbon and to this day has no legal basis in the EU.
