"The success of the internal market depends on the creation of a single justice area operating on the basis of common rules and ensuring that citizens’ rights are uniformly guaranteed. Thus, any European citizen suspected of a crime within the Union must have his or her fundamental rights respected in every Member State. I therefore welcome the adoption of Birgit Sippel’s report. By establishing common minimum standards, this text ensures a right to information within the Union that applies from the moment the person is told that he or she is a suspect. This immediacy of information is essential in my view. I also welcome the fact that the range of rights associated with this right to information has been extended. Thus, it is now thoroughly satisfactory, as it covers translation, interpretation, the assistance of a lawyer, information about the accusation, access to evidence and the right to remain silent, as well as the provision of a Letter of Rights including information on the legal conditions of arrest and detention. Although this text is just one stage in the road map on procedural rights, the provisions it includes are essential. I hope they will be covered in the future comprehensive legislative package soon to be presented by the Commission."@en1
