lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the United Kingdom will not adopt this proposed legislation for two reasons. One, we have an opt-out and two, because we already have such safeguards under our own law. It is shocking that some Member States lack basic safeguards for children under their own legal systems. For example, the right to be present at one’s own trial, the right to legal representation, the right of children held in custody to be kept separately from adults, and the right to be visited by a parent or guardian. The question that springs to mind is how could the legal systems of Member States lacking such basic protections be considered equal to the legal systems that do? And of course they are, under the EU’s ideological doctrine of mutual recognition that says all Member States’ legal systems are equal. This is palpably not true but it is good to see the EU adopting some of the tried and tested principles of the English legal system."@en1
