"Mr President, I want to first acknowledge the efforts made by Commissioner Reding and the Commission in speeding up this package of procedural safeguards, given that it has been stalled for a long time, and could not be implemented until the Swedish Presidency established the roadmap.
Clearly, a country demonstrates how civilised it is by the way it treats suspects. For that reason, we consider that the specific proposal we are debating here today is very significant. I would like to thank Birgit Sippel for her efforts in introducing some elements into this proposal for a Directive, which are substantial for the suspect, for the letter of rights, that is, to know what the suspect is accused of and to establish, therefore, the right to remain silent and the right to learn of the substantial elements of which they are accused, as well as, of course, medical care, etc.
However, what I really want to highlight in this speech is the birth of this right, because this was the debate on the right to interpretation and translation, and this will be the debate on legal assistance for a suspect. When does this right come into being? When the suspected person is accused of something, and it is very important that this right is respected and that this right comes into force at the same time that the person becomes aware that they are a suspect."@en1
