lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the right to information for suspects and defendants during criminal proceedings is one of the cornerstones which should guarantee the standards of every civilised country. In this connection, we should welcome the work that this House has put into this document. We also welcome the fact that rules of this kind, which concern fundamental rights, are covered by this directive. Let us not forget an issue which has been ignored here, although it too deserves attention, namely the situation of victims, who are often in a similarly difficult situation and do not receive adequate information, even though they have fallen victim to crimes which are sometimes atrocious. Sometimes they fall victim to these crimes in countries they are visiting as tourists, where they are unable to move around and defend their rights and reasons because of the language barrier. We must not forget about them, and we must not create an imbalance between the rights of the victim and those of the offender. We should remember that victims often become victims of crimes again, in a phenomenon known to researchers as ‘repeat victimisation’. This is due to the callousness of the judicial system, which does not respect their right to information or their right to protection, even though these should be the priority. In some jurisdictions the offender, often having acted deliberately and in full awareness of his deeds within an organised group, has more rights than his victim. This House must be vocal in its appeals for the rights of victims. I am calling on you, Commissioner, and I would encourage you to get involved in measures to help victims, to help all those who right now are falling victim to serious crime and are later entirely ignored by the state apparatus, even in Europe. We are obliged to make changes, Commissioner. Let us do something about it."@en1
