lpv:translated text	"Mr President, firstly I would like to congratulate the rapporteur on her well prepared report, because this Directive really is a huge step forward, reinforcing rights to information in criminal proceedings and common standards throughout the European Union. Indeed, simply knowing your rights is not enough, it is very important for them to be respected and to be able to exercise them in a real situation. Denial of procedural rights can have a very detrimental effect on the fairness of the criminal process and may lead to judicial errors. This Directive is therefore aimed at ensuring a fair hearing in a person’s home country or another European Union Member State. Basic procedural rights also need to be respected, such as consulting a lawyer or having interpretation and translation if needed. It is important for Member States to ensure that suspected or accused persons are provided with sufficient information about the accusations, such as the nature and cause of an accusation in order to safeguard the fairness of criminal proceedings and ensure the effective exercise of the right of defence. It is particularly important that the right to information in this Directive should not only cover rights concerning legal advice and legal aid, but should also grant rights to contact relatives, employers and consular services."@en1
