"I voted in favour of this report as the Commission proposal seeks to guarantee a minimum level of protection for the principle of presumption of innocence in all Member States and to enhance accused persons’ right to be present at their trials. The proposal therefore focuses mainly on the principle of presumption of innocence, the burden of proof, the right not to incriminate oneself and not to cooperate, the right to remain silent, the right to be present at one’s trial and the right to a retrial. In general, I welcome the approach adopted at the time and endorse almost all of those amendments; in particular, those seeking to prevent the reversal of the burden of proof to the detriment of suspects or accused persons and to ensure that evidence gathered in breach of the principle of presumption of innocence are inadmissible. The report also tables a number of additional amendments seeking to clarify the scope of the presumption of innocence, in particular as regards public references to guilt before conviction and thereby to ensure that suspects or accused persons enjoy a sufficiently high level of protection throughout the EU."@en1
