"The purpose behind the creation of the EU was that all citizens should feel united in a project based around well-being and security. The free movement of people and goods can only be fully enjoyed if we feel that our rights are safeguarded in any Member State in which we find ourselves. It is vital that we know that, no matter where we are, there is always someone looking after us. When a terrorist attack occurs, identifying the perpetrators and bringing them to trial is a major concern. Everything revolves around the criminal. International organisations often sponsor the defence of terrorists and defend the rights of prisoners. However, most of the victims and their families are forgotten. Apart from being unjust, this is also inhumane. I welcome the presentation of this proposal, which clarifies the rights of citizens as victims of crimes including gender violence, trafficking, rape and terrorism in any EU Member State. I would congratulate the rapporteurs on the excellent work that they have carried out on behalf of the European public, in particular those who, for whatever reason – and it could happen to any one of us – may be victims. This is how a Europe of citizens should be constructed: as a Europe that does not abandon us when we are vulnerable."@en1
