Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Points out that when a fraud such as this is organised across frontiers and thus involves activity in two or more Member States, there is no mechanism for the national law-enforcement agencies to work together across borders - nor any budget, nor even a telephone directory to discover police contacts across the border or in other distant Member States - and consequently national agencies understandably lose interest in pursuing the fraudsters because they are so well organised across borders which the national agencies themselves cannot cross.
