"The JUSTICIA European Rights Network, which brings together 19 civil society organizations from 18 EU member states, believes that an effective system of legal aid is vital to ensure that everyone, regardless of economic status, is treated fairly by the law.

The Directive on Legal Aid is the last in a series of groundbreaking directives that collectively have the potential to bring about significant improvements on defence rights across the EU. We are encouraged by the progress made on this file under the Dutch Presidency. As you enter the final stages of the trilogue negotiations we urge you to continue to work towards a strong and comprehensive Directive."
