"The European Union, as an area in which people and goods move freely, should convey an image of security and of a community of values such as freedom, democracy and respect for the rule of law; of the framework that characterises the EU, in fact. This report, by Ms Sippel, concerns the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on European citizens’ right to information when involved in criminal proceedings in a Member State other than their own. Often, accused persons – for example, tourists – do not know the language or the law of that country, and experience very complicated and distressing situations. With this directive, they will now have the right to information about their rights prior to the start of proceedings, in particular, their right to an interpreter and a lawyer, as well as access to the grounds for the charge. As such, I am voting for this proposal for a directive, which has the unanimous backing of all the political groups, and I hope that the Member States will transpose it into national legislation as quickly as possible, since it is a measure that will increase feelings of security and confidence among all European citizens."@en1
