"I voted in favour of this resolution on a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the right to information in criminal proceedings. The European Union has set itself the objective of maintaining and developing an area of freedom, security and justice. According to the conclusions of the Tampere European Council of 15 and 16 October 1999, the principle of mutual recognition should become the cornerstone of judicial cooperation in both civil and criminal matters within the Union, because enhanced mutual recognition of judicial decisions and judgments and the necessary approximation of legislation would facilitate cooperation between authorities and the judicial protection of individual rights. The extent of the mutual recognition exercise is very much dependent on a number of parameters, including mechanisms for safeguarding the rights of suspected or accused persons and common minimum standards necessary to facilitate the application of the principle of mutual recognition. This is at the heart of the rule of law, and I therefore agree with the rapporteur that this directive should apply to suspected and accused persons regardless of their legal status, citizenship or nationality. The specific conditions and rules for informing one other person about the arrest or detention are to be determined by the Member States in their national law, it being understood that the exercise of this right should not prejudice the due course of the criminal proceedings."@en1
