lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, even though all EU Member States should respect people’s right to a fair trial, national procedures on information in criminal proceedings vary considerably from one country to another. Some Member States provide for accused persons to receive only oral information about their procedural rights, while others provide information – especially if it is technical – only in writing or at the request of the accused. Since over 8 million criminal proceedings are brought in the European Union every year, it is easy to see that an information system that is still so varied and heterogeneous is inadequate. I therefore agree with the content and aims of this directive. I am referring especially to the general rule making it compulsory to provide accused persons with information about their procedural rights before proceedings begin, particularly the right to be assisted by a lawyer and to be able to benefit from official translations if the proceedings are in a different language. With regard to the stage after proceedings have begun, I agree with the two specific rights selected: the right of accused people to full information about the charges brought against them, and their right to access to the case file. These are two essential conditions for determining and challenging the lawfulness of the arrest or detention and for enabling them to put up the best possible defence. I therefore congratulate the Commissioner, the rapporteur and the shadow rapporteurs on their work during the informal trialogues. These have led to the approval of measures that will harmonise the spread and development of fundamental rights, such as the right to a defence and the right to a fair trial."@en1
