lpv:spoken text	". – Madam President, I wholeheartedly support this report on better protection for victims of crime which demonstrates yet again in the EU's commitment to combating crime and protecting our citizens. We are trying to ensure that the rights and interests of victims of crime are better respected in all EU Member States, even when the crime itself has been committed outside the victim's usual country of residence. Consequently, many travellers and holidaymakers will benefit from this European initiative. This measure will help allow victims of crime to be able to claim full, immediate and effective compensation for any damage suffered, if possible to be paid by the perpetrator of the crime. Combating crime is crucial for my constituents in the North West. The Labour Government is cracking down on crime and disorder. With Labour, crime is already down 10% since 1997. Domestic burglary is down by 21% and vehicle crime by 15% – their lowest levels for a decade. The six-year decline in police numbers has been halted – 9000 extra recruits will take police numbers to their highest level ever. The Queen's Speech spells out that our next step is to cut violent crime and disorder by working together. The Tories, on the other hand, offer nothing but rising crime and falling investment. The Tories, on the other hand, offer nothing but rising crime and falling investment. Their record on law and order speaks for itself: during their time in office, the chance of being a victim of burglary increased from one in 32 to one in 13; the chance of being a victim of violent crime trebled. Madam President, the Labour Government is determined to be tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. By introducing greater protection for victims of crime across Europe, our citizens will gain confidence in the judicial system and the police, not just across Britain, but right across the European Union."@en1
