"Madam President, I – like the other Members who have spoken – welcome the European Protection Order. I think it is an excellent initiative which will ensure that measures for victims’ protection will extend from one Member State to another, because the problem is that at present, protection orders stop at our borders, leaving the victim defenceless.
The EPO marks a huge step forward in victims’ rights as a strong instrument which will provide a safer haven for victims of violence across Member States’ borders, particularly women. Over 100 000 women in the EU are covered by protective measures at present. However, the EPO is not nearly as effective as it might have been.
In December 2010, I raised my objection to the Council’s blocking minority argument against the inclusion of civil law measures in the EPO. I had previously outlined that both the Council and the Parliament’s Legal Service found that the legal basis was adequate, a position which was unanimously supported by the Committee on Legal Affairs. I sincerely regret that today’s compromise excludes all civil measures. I hope that Ireland will soon be able to adopt the measure that we have adopted here today."@en1
