"Mr President, the proposal that we are debating today concerns how we are to strengthen trust between our Member States in the judicial sphere. Part of this concerns the conditions for those who have been detained, conditions which, in some cases unfortunately, are quite appalling. The European Court of Human Rights has, on many occasions, criticised the poor detention conditions and unreasonably long detention periods.
We now need to ensure that the fundamental human rights of detainees are respected and that the conditions in prisons maintain a fairly reasonable standard. We also need to get to grips with the problem of the abuse of pre-trial detention.
The Member States of the EU are now busy developing extensive judicial cooperation. This is based on the principle of the mutual recognition of judges and court rulings. In order for this to work, however, there needs to be trust between the Member States. Ensuring the fundamental rights of detainees must therefore be our top priority."@en1
