"Mr President, when a criminal act takes place, we immediately begin contemplating the quickest route to track down the responsible individuals in order to bring them to justice, as well as the measures needed in order to prevent the criminal act from repeating itself. These are praiseworthy actions, yet we need to focus more attention on the victims. This is, in fact, what we are doing today, as a result of this law which I happily welcome. Now, we shall no longer distinguish between first or second class victims, determined by country or nationality. From now on, victims will be provided with the same kind of assistance. Everybody stands to gain from this law, because anyone can end up being a victim from one moment to the next. As the Vice-President of the Commission has pointed out, this law represents a significant step in the building of a Europe for the citizens; a Europe which endorses freedom, justice and security; a Europe that offers its citizens top quality rights; a Europe which, above all, does not abandon you at your most vulnerable moment, that is, falling victim to a criminal act. Therefore, I would like to thank Vice-President Reding, as well as the rapporteurs, in particular Teresa Jiménez-Becerril, who I know has this law very much at heart, including on a personal level."@en1
