"Madam President, I have voted in favour of the report on the right to information in criminal proceedings as I support the need to guarantee a consistency in basic rights for those who are arrested across the EU.
This is particularly important with the increased element of cross-border cooperation under the European arrest warrant. It is vitally important that the accused is made aware of having committed a criminal offence by official notification, and they should be fully aware of the relevant procedural rights as soon as possible, which has not always been the case for some British citizens who have been arrested under the European arrest warrant of late.
It is also crucial for the arrested person to keep the letter of rights throughout their time of detention and this information should be presented in simple and accessible language. I would therefore welcome the proposed directive’s intention to raise the standards in some Member States to a common basic standard which is already operational, if not exceeded, in the majority of Member States, including my own."@en1
