"I voted for this directive so that those accused of committing an offence are informed of their rights in a language that they understand. The directive is applied regardless of the defendants’ legal status in the EU. Anyone taken into custody (including on the basis of a European arrest warrant) will be informed of the reasons for their arrest and will be given a letter stating their rights, which include: the right not to make a statement, the right to have a lawyer, including a duty lawyer, the right to inform the consular authorities or another person, such as a family member, the right to know how long they will be detained for until brought before a judge, the right to urgent medical treatment and the right of access to the evidence in the file (by no later than the completion of the criminal investigation, with certain exceptions justified by national security, the rights of another person or significant public interest). The letter must also indicate how the lawfulness of the arrest can be challenged, what the appeal procedure is against the decision to detain someone, or how to request provisional release. The directive features in a package of measures intended to safeguard across the EU, as an area of freedom, security and justice, certain procedural rights for those accused of committing an offence."@en1
