"I voted for the adoption of the directive, which deals with EU citizens and their rights when they become participants in criminal proceedings. If this happens, whether in somebody’s home country or in another Member State, a fair judicial procedure in line with the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights must be ensured. This implies compliance with basic procedural rights, such as the right to consult a lawyer or to have interpretation and translation of documents if needed. I consider it beneficial that this report amends the Commission proposal in order to ensure that the directive covers all cases of limitation of personal freedom, irrespective of how Member States qualify the proceedings according to which a suspect has been deprived of his/her liberty. Nobody knows in advance how long a suspect will be kept in police custody or for how long the person will be deprived of his/her liberty. While the various rights mentioned in the Letter of Rights might not always apply, the suspected or accused person is nonetheless entitled to be provided immediately with information in writing on his/her procedural rights."@en1
