"Mr President, we are debating a much-needed directive. A fair trial means that the right of defence must be respected, and the right of defence can only be asserted if persons exercising it have full information about the rights to which they are entitled in the first place. It is hard for someone who is arrested to defend themselves, and it is even harder when they are arrested in a country other than their own. The provision of full information should therefore be of particular concern to law enforcement agencies. I approve of all of the solutions in the directive, but my only concern is whether its implementation will in fact work well in every instance, as we are dealing here with a difficult and delicate matter – the independence of the judiciary. Problems may arise with the actual functioning of the directive in practice. There should be an adequate system for examining complaints relating to abuse of the powers contained in the directive."@en1
