"Mr President, I should like once more to thank all those who have made it possible for this directive to become a reality: the secretariat, the Commission, the rapporteur, all those I am forgetting to mention and all my fellow Members who have supported us.
I should like to say to every single victim without exception that, for us, they and their families have faces, names and are real people, and it is specifically on their behalf that we will work to ensure this directive is truly effective and – with the commitment and support of Commissioner Reding, of which I have no doubt whatsoever – is quickly and efficiently implemented, which is what all of us, and all citizens, want.
I think there are various victims’ associations that would have wanted, and continue to want, their own directive, but I will make sure they know that the directive we shall vote on tomorrow does not overlook a single victim and, therefore, does not overlook them either. I am certain that this is the first important step and that it will be followed by many other steps that will open the doors of justice, which have been closed to victims for too long.
When I am asked, as I often am in my country, what I do in Europe, I will be able to say with great pride that I am legislating in support of victims. That work is a great honour to me personally, and it motivates me to continue working. I am sure that, with the support and commitment of all those who are not only working here in the EU but also in our own countries, as well as your support, ladies and gentlemen, together we will succeed in putting an end to the situation of unjust neglect in which victims find themselves."@en1
