Lena Ek (ALDE ),
in writing.
(SV)
Thanks to Mrs Hazan’s own-initiative report on evaluation of the European arrest warrant, we can further increase the legal certainty enjoyed by our citizens. The report points to improvements that have been made. I wish, however, to emphasise the problems mentioned in the report that still constitute obstacles to guaranteeing legal certainty.
It is incredibly important for people arrested in connection with the European arrest warrant to be guaranteed legal aid and help in the form of translation and interpretation. It is the responsibility of each Member State to solve this important problem that at present leads to human rights violations.
