According to the Observer:
"The EU faces a damaging split over moves led by Germany to impose a radical law and order package. If enacted into European legislation, it would allow armed police to operate with impunity outside their home countries, privatised armed 'sky marshals' on civilian flights and a wide range of joint operations against alleged illegal migrants."
"The plans are provoking opposition in Whitehall and among senior British police officers. Many of them recall how, in 1996, a Dutch parliamentary inquiry revealed that tonnes of illegal drugs had been exported from the Netherlands to Britain with the assistance of Dutch undercover agents, who had allowed informants to run amok.
'We have learnt the hard way how difficult it is to regulate undercover operations,' one source said, citing a series of high-profile Customs and Excise cases that collapsed in the Court of Appeal after irregularities came to light. 'We need to be extremely wary.'"
When I first read it I was of the opinion that it should be opposed at all costs, but when you consider that most of the law of this land is dictated by Europe, why not have a European police force. After all, detection rates in some police "service" areas are as high as 3%, could foreign police "forces" do any worse?
Mind you, the EU does not have a good reputation for the practical application of cooperation
For example, what was the response when Mr Reid faced the first crisis over prisons last year, and asked his European counterparts to accommodate some of their nationals currently in British jails? NO,NO,NO,NO,NO!
You see, when it comes to Europe it is always a one way street.

I don't blame the EU, after all the same principal applies here as to most things, if you don't like it, leave. No, the problem unsurprisingly is with Nu Labour who are determined to finish off any independence this country has, and they are making good progress.
So why not let foreign armed police into Britain, let them make the news by either shootings in public or lots of high profile arrests, after all, when you consider that the majority of new applications to the Northern Ireland police service were from Polish Nationals, we're half way there already.
Of course, a radical alternative might be to consider the EU as a trade partnership instead of allowing it to continue imposing it's will on oppressed Nations who at no time voted for it, but then, that would be called democracy, and this is Great Britain after all!
