Question No 29 by Bill Newton Dunn 
Subject: A level playing-field for suspects who are accused across the Union
For the EU Arrest Warrant, and the proposed EU Evidence Warrant, to work successfully, there must be a level playing-field in respect of rights of suspects across the Union.
When will the Commission make a formal proposal for an EU-wide agreement on safeguards for procedures which involve suspects? In other words, to propose equal access to lawyers and interpreters, to combat police immunity, and to ensure similar interpretations on how human rights are interpreted including the right to liberty, the right to a fair trial and the right to silence?
