Mr President, Mr Szpunar, Commissioner, I am a little surprised at the blatant way that the Council and the Member States are denying responsibility here for the standards relating to detention conditions. I am of the opinion – and I believe this opinion is very widely shared here in the European Parliament – that we do indeed need to take action at European level to create common standards for these detention conditions, and I believe it is right that the European Commission has submitted a Green Paper in this regard, which also, and in particular, comments on pre-trial detention and indicates ways in which we can create such standards within the bounds of what our Treaties allow.
In my view, mutual recognition is not something that we can simply achieve by saying that we accept the fact that there are different procedures and they are simply the way they are, and we send the prisoners back and forth and we send the evidence back and forth and that is how it is. No, that will not do. There are two sides to mutual recognition. It means, on the one hand, of course, that we recognise the procedures of the other Member States, that we try to work together, but, on the other hand, it also means what we have been very clearly calling for for many, many years in the European Parliament and that is the creation of common standards. I would ask you, with regard in particular to minimum standards in criminal proceedings and to detention conditions, to finally end your opposition to these measures and to recognise that we certainly do have the competence for this."@en1
