"Mr President, as rapporteur for the Committee on Legal Affairs I would first like to add my thanks to the rapporteur from the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs – I believe that we have really cooperated well here in the European Parliament, where we members of the Committee on Legal Affairs also had opportunity to contribute suggestions in the process – and also, of course, to the other group members of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. Naturally, I would also like to congratulate the Commissioner for Justice and Fundamental Rights on the fact that a new cornerstone of this road map to create common standards in criminal proceedings has now been achieved. I believe we are agreed that this is a very important step on the way to achieving these common standards. It is also an important step for our citizens, because only informed citizens who know their rights can exercise such rights. I am thus very interested about which rights we, as European citizens, will be able to exercise in future. For this reason, I am already looking to the future and I would also like to see us completing the further steps in the process as soon as possible, such as the right to access a lawyer – steps in which I will be involved as rapporteur for the Committee on Legal Affairs and as shadow rapporteur in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. I consider this to be extremely important. I would once again call on the Member States to give up their resistance to certain provisions and to take the common path towards creating these standards. It is hugely important. We, as Parliament, are ready to do this."@en1
