"Mr President, public confidence and international cooperation on criminal matters depend on the quality of national legal systems. Europeans must feel confident that they will enjoy the same standards of protection no matter which European Union country they are in. Detention conditions have a significant impact on how well the mutual recognition of court judgments operates. Overcrowding in jails and maltreatment of prisoners may undermine confidence, which is vital for judicial cooperation in the European Union. This is why I believe that we need to identify good practices, and we need pilot projects on the issue of detention and good practices in administering prisons. Without doubt, our most important task is to establish the most suitable direction to go in with this reform and to what extent having a compulsory instrument at EU level is feasible. This is why we are addressing the matter today with the Commission, as we have also done on other occasions, highlighting the need for urgent measures to be taken in this area."@en1
