"Around 15% of the EU population, namely approximately 75 million citizens are directly affected by the approximately 30 million crimes (excluding minor crimes) committed annually (2007 Eurostat statistics).
Previous regulations for the protection of victims of crime, as well as their implementation, have so far been deficient. At the same time, the current legislations of Member States show great differences, while social dynamics create new regulatory requirements.
Given the above, I support this report because the proposed measures will: - ensure that victims and the persons accompanying them receive full and accurate information on their rights and are treated with respect;
provide legal, financial, psychological and practical support services to the victims;
ensure communication in a language understood by the victims;
ensure effective access to compensation and redress for the harm suffered.
I also believe that when establishing support measures, it would be useful to take into account factors such as the age and the intellectual capabilities of victims, their personal characteristics, or the type of crime, which would render vulnerable the persons falling outside the categories established as generally vulnerable."@en1
