lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Frattini, ladies and gentlemen, we would like to improve standards in the quality and efficiency of justice. This is a very sensitive area that varies appreciably across the Member States. Hence the need to strengthen mutual trust whereby legal decisions are mutually recognised. Confidence in the quality and efficiency of the legal system of other partners in the Union contributes towards the gradual development of a European legal culture. This framework-decision is a further step in this direction and will also help strengthen the principle of mutual recognition of judgments in criminal matters imposing custodial sentences or measures involving deprivation of liberty. Speeding up the transfer of sentenced persons to another Member State of which they are nationals or to a particular State with which that person is linked in some way increases the potential to achieve social rehabilitation. I wish to commend Mr Varvitsiotis on his report and on the excellent proposals that he submitted to us, which I support in full and which are worthy of the unanimous support of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. The sentenced person does need adequate guarantees such as a prior hearing before the sentence is delivered, as Mrs Cederschiöld pointed out. The principle of speciality, whereby the person is not tried for acts other than those for which he is serving his sentence, must also be upheld. The victims of sentenced persons must also be kept informed both of the existence of an application for the recognition and transfer of the sentence, and of the result of the trial and the nature of the transfer. I also agree that under no circumstances should it be possible to convert the sentence into a financial penalty or to increase the punishment imposed by the Member State in question."@en1
