Directorate-General for Justice and Home Affairs

A technical debate is now underway on this issue between Denmark and the Commission' s Directorate-General for Justice and Home Affairs.

I would like to know if this approach will be adopted and if it is going to affect the structures of the Directorates-General - currently the Directorate-General for Justice and Home Affairs.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Mrs Hedkvist Petersen, the Commission has published a consultation document on procedural safeguards for suspects and defendants in criminal proceedings on the web-site of the Directorate-General for Justice and Home Affairs.
