"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, every year, millions of people in the European Union are victims of crime. According to Eurostat data, there are around 30 million crimes, many of which are unfortunately never reported for fear of reprisals. Often, crimes do not just affect the victim, but also have an indirect impact on family members and relations. Whether people are victims of mugging, theft, burglary, murder, sexual violence or even terrorist attacks, they all have the same need, which is to be treated with respect and dignity. Support, guaranteed protection for one’s physical safety, access to justice and payment of damages are all inalienable rights that every judicial system must guarantee. Today, Europe is finally proposing to adopt a directive capable of guaranteeing a shared legal framework for the protection of all victims, helping in solid terms to sweep away all the obstacles that continue to prevent effective cross-border protection. The legislative text aims to strengthen people’s trust in judicial systems, by helping to make it possible to apply an existing protection programme in another Member State. The right would also ultimately apply to the victim’s family members. From now on, greater attention will be paid to the professional training of all those working in the judicial system, who will have to gain new skills in psychological and social welfare support. Therefore, there should be an end to unpunished crime, victims without justice or support, and criminals walking free rather than going to prison. The text we will be voting on tomorrow represents a step towards building a model of justice in which the institutions fight to defend citizens’ rights, and ensure that no criminal can walk free as a result of a breakdown in communication between different judicial systems."@en1
