lpv:translated text	". The priorities of the Community’s criminal justice system have always been the perpetrators of crime and the handing down of punishments on the basis of the crime committed. Scant attention has been paid to the victims, who are subject to different national compensation systems which experience great difficulty in terms of coordination and enforcement in the specific case of cross-border crimes. It is important, then, to draw up minimum standards defining the terms ‘victim’ and ‘crime’, establishing which persons are eligible to benefit from compensation if the victim dies, and determining the methods and means of payment. To my mind, the rapporteur’s belief in the central importance of guaranteeing compensation is particularly impressive. This is crucial not only in order to alleviate the harm and suffering caused, as far as possible, but also to deal with the social conflict created by the crime and facilitate the application of a properly rational criminal policy. A society which supposedly safeguards individual rights should also make provisions for protecting its citizens at the level of the individual. I warmly congratulate the rapporteur on this magnificent piece of work. I voted in favour."@en1
