"The high level of economic integration within Europe has not been accompanied to the same degree by legal matters more closely linked to the idea of national sovereignty. Notably, consideration is being given to criminal law, in its broad sense, or criminal procedural law, more specifically. However, it is certain that the area of freedom, which enables the free movement of people, has also broken with the isolationist paradigm of various legal and criminal systems. The reality is that crime is, in some areas at least, European, and does not recognise the constraints offered by geographic borders. As such, there is justification for taking the first steps towards bringing the legislation of the various Member States closer together. That is the aim of this proposal for a directive on the right to information in criminal proceedings. In light of the issues covered, it is a case of including in the
certain key elements that are in the DNA of the concept of due process: the accused person’s right to be informed of their rights, the right to be informed of the charge and the right of access to the case file. As such, I voted in favour, and would stress that the accusatorial procedural model used in Portugal already recognises these guarantees."@en1
