"Mr President, EU mutual recognition instruments in criminal justice can only work effectively, efficiently and fairly with common standards that give judges, lawyers and citizens the confidence that fundamental rights are being respected throughout the EU. I therefore strongly regret that we heard a sceptical-verging-on-negative attitude to the justice programme from my British Conservative colleague Timothy Kirkhope. I guess this echoes that of his party colleague, the UK Justice Secretary.
I urge a UK opt-in to this programme and I am pleased that the UK coalition government plans to stay a participant in many EU mutual recognition instruments, including the European Arrest Warrant, on which I am drafting a report for the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. However, better training and support for judges and lawyers is required to make this work fairly. If the UK fails to opt in, British judges, lawyers and NGOs will be excluded from funding, which would be a highly regrettable situation. I therefore urge the UK Government, on International Human Rights Day, to decide to opt in to the Justice Programme."@en1
