"Mr President, Commissioner Reding, I would firstly like to say that I very much welcome the results of the work carried out by Ms Sippel in conjunction with the rapporteurs. The proposal will successfully lay down common minimum standards for the right to information in criminal proceedings within the European Union. I thought at the outset that the proposal tabled by the Commission was very good. I would therefore like to offer my particular congratulations to Commissioner Reding.
In this process I was particularly concerned that the rights of the suspected person – particularly as regards the right to remain silent – should have no negative consequences, as was in fact the case in the law of certain Member States. That is now ensured. I am pleased about that, too. In the course of the discussions on this report it became clear that in many Member States there is no legal obligation to inform a suspected person of his right to legal assistance, and moreover that in only ten Member States were suspected persons informed of their rights in writing, and that in three Member States there was even no possibility whatsoever of access to documentation.
Looking at France and the practice there as regards
in which there is no access to a lawyer during the initial detention period – it is clear that we need to carry out some approximation at a European level, and that we need to do so in the near future. Only then will we be able to restore trust in other Member States’ judicial systems and ensure that mutual recognition of judgements can take place on such a basis. Unless we have achieved an adequate level of approximation we will not be able to forge ahead with measures such as the European Investigation Order.
This report takes us a big step in the right direction. I congratulate all those involved."@en1
