"I welcome the creation of a European Protection Order for the victims of domestic violence, harassment and stalking, etc. in the EU. This new EPO will ensure that criminal law barring and protection orders issued in participating Member States will be recognised and enforced in other participating Member States, upon application. I regret that Ireland has not opted-in to this legislation. I appreciate the legal difficulties at stake – barring orders are nearly always a matter of civil law in Ireland and this directive only covers criminal law orders – but I do hope that these can be overcome before the late 2013 deadline for transposition. I welcome the Irish Government’s announcement of its general intention to take part in the draft regulation on civil law European Protection Orders, as proposed by the Commission last May. Domestic violence has a higher rate of repeat victimisation than any other crime. Both of these measures will allow the victims and potential victims of violence to move more easily around the EU, whilst hampering the movement of their aggressors. The sooner these measures are in force in Ireland, the better."@en1
