"Following the adoption of a first text on the right to interpretation and translation, this timely vote will help ensure the consistency of a system which guarantees adequate protection of the fundamental rights of suspects and accused persons throughout Europe.
That is why I have voted in favour of the text negotiated by my colleague, Birgit Sippel, on the Letter of Rights. We must, in fact, ensure that any person who is arrested, then detained, receives, in writing, and in a language he or she understands, not only all of the rights he or she may claim, such as the right to translation or interpretation, the right to know what charges are being brought against him or her, or the right to the assistance of a lawyer, but also the right to remain silent, the right to urgent medical care and the right to contact family.
The next step will be for us to defend the right of access to a lawyer from the moment the suspect is questioned, no matter what the Council says in its unilateral statement. Although the statement indicates that the Council accepts the major principle of suspects receiving information, this does not mean that it agrees with all of the proposals put forward by the European Commission."@en1
