A self-appointed police organization pretends they need to harvest 4 petabytes of citizen data to "fight terrorism".

Not legitimized by any constitution, no defined responsibilities, these Brussels organizations (sorry, the Hague!) appoint each other and assign themselves budget, and the bureaucracy grows every day.

When they are "appointing each other" they are, by definition, not self-appointed. And Europol doesn't appoint anyone, nor does is assign any budgets outside its own purview. So I'm at a loss at what you're actually trying to say.
