". Mr President, with a view to fighting all kinds of crime in the European Union, we should promote mutual trust between national judicial authorities and strengthen the mutual recognition of judgments in criminal matters. The initiative by certain Member States aims to speed up the process for transferring persons sentenced in one Member State to another Member State of the European Union to which the person is in some way connected. For example, they may be a citizen of that country, have leave to remain there indefinitely or be closely linked to that country in terms of prison sentences, or other security measures, handed down to them. Moreover, the decision to transfer a sentenced person to another country to serve their punishment depends on the likelihood of better conditions being provided for their social rehabilitation. This is something that I would like to stress. However, we should pay close attention to the differences in the sentences meted out in different Member States. It is important to ensure that the sentences handed down in one Member State take account of the justice system implementing that sentence. The victim or the person harmed by the convicted person should be informed about the transfer of the sentenced person to another Member State. This was the position adopted by the Council in its framework decision on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings. Their equal treatment must be guaranteed, as must their dignity and right to participate in the trial, and account must be taken of their situation in the event of claims for damages. We should do all we can to ensure that the transfer procedure for sentenced persons is efficient, by getting rid of unnecessary red tape and creating a clearly defined, binding legal framework."@en1
