Mr President, since many good things have already been said, it is not necessary for me to report on everything. The ALDE Group welcomes Mrs Buitenweg’s report on the proposal for a Council framework decision on criminal judicial cooperation. Procedural safeguards are an indispensable supplement in an area where cooperation between Member States’ judicial and law enforcement agencies is ever closer.
We believe that while the mutual recognition of decisions necessitates trust between Member States, it is equally important that suspects affected enjoy equivalent rights. I must admit that as a new Member of this Parliament it was quite frightening to hear that in the European Union this was not the case in the past. But it is now satisfactorily regulated that suspects have the same rights throughout Europe; so I am very happy that this framework decision is now on the table.
The ALDE Group had certain ideas in relation to this proposal. First of all we proposed establishing a register of specialised qualified interpreters and an interpretation hotline. We wanted to guarantee the rights of disabled people and psychological assistance. We wanted the Letter of Rights to be made accessible to the disabled, the inclusion of victims’ rights and the setting-up of an independent body of experienced, independent and properly remunerated lawyers. We are very happy that the rapporteur has taken most of these ideas on board.
This is a very good outcome and that is why we support the rapporteur’s original line. We aim to give equal rights to suspects regardless of the type of suspicion they are under. We aim for equal protection and for harmonisation.
Finally, I am very satisfied that the majority of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs supported our amendments, which were aimed at giving equal rights to the disabled and clarified the obligations as regards lawyers and interpreters.
Mrs Buitenweg, the ALDE Group will support you and your report."@en1
