"Mr President, Commissioner, tomorrow we will vote on a directive which will finally introduce minimum European standards in respect of rights, support and protection for all victims of crime.
With regard to the cross-border dimension of crime, it is important that the directive introduces the same rules for all victims, regardless of their status, such as the right to translation and interpretation, and that it secures access to legal aid.
Among the other beneficial aspects, I would include the greater protection in particular for at-risk groups of victims, such as children and women, and also the fact that the media will be forbidden from contributing to the further victimisation of victims by revealing their identity. I appreciate the fact that states will have to commit to providing training for judges and prosecutors, and also to financing information campaigns and submitting statistical information for evaluating the success of the directive in the future.
However, I am not the only one who, over and above the framework of the minimum levels of this directive, also expects states to provide victims with additional help, making things easier for them in a difficult situation, and to help them avoid or minimise post-traumatic complications by providing further services, such as payment-free psychological assistance.
The directive also shows, however, that Europeans respect human dignity, ladies and gentlemen, and that they do so under all circumstances."@en1
