Council Directive 82/17/EEC of 21 December 1981 amending, as regards the special conversion grant and the monetary unit utilized, Directive 78/627/EEC on the programme to accelerate the restructuring and conversion of vineyards in certain Mediterranean regions in France

Official Journal L 009 , 14/01/1982 P. 0028 - 0028 Spanish special edition: Chapter 03 Volume 24 P. 0171  Portuguese special edition Chapter 03 Volume 24 P. 0171

*****COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE  of 21 December 1981  amending, as regards the special conversion grant and the monetary unit utilized, Directive 78/627/EEC on the programme to accelerate the restructuring and conversion of vineyards in certain Mediterranean regions in France  (82/17/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Whereas Article 4 (1) of Directive 78/627/EEC (3) states that expenditure related to the special conversion grant is eligible for aid from the Guidance Section of the EAGGF provided that it does not exceed 2 000 units of account per converted hectare and is reduced by at least 10 % each year from the third year onward;  Whereas the purpose of the reduction was to speed up conversion operations; whereas, however, as a result of adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 456/80 of 18 February 1980 on the granting of temporary and permanent abandonment premiums in respect of certain areas under vines and of premiums for the renunciation of replanting (4), this reduciton is likely to have an effect opposite to that intended; whereas, in fact, the abovementioned Regulation, which is to apply to the areas covered by Directive 78/627/EEC when the validity of that Directive expires, provides for the granting of a premium for the permanent abandonment of viticulture of the same amount as the abovementioned conversion grant but without a time-related reduction; whereas, consequently, from the third year onwards winegrowers may find it more profitable to await expiry the validity of the Directive instead of applying for the conversion grant;  Whereas, moreover, in view of the adoption of the abovementioned Regulation, the areas covered by Directive 78/627/EEC, which suffer very seriously from the structural surplus on the market in table wine, should be granted aid at least as advantageous as that provided for the other areas in the Community experiencing similar problems;  Whereas the amounts laid down in Directive 78/627/EEC should be expressed in the monetary unit currently being used for the common agricultural policy;  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  Directive 78/627/EEC is hereby amended as follows:  1. The third indent of Article 4 (1) shall be replaced by the following:  '- expenditure related to the special conversion grant referred to in the fourth indent of Article 3 (1) (b) provided that it does not exceed 2 418 ECU (A) per converted hectare,'.  2. The amounts specified in the following provisions shall be as follows:  (a) Article 4 (1), first indent:  3 143 ECU (A) instead of  2 600 units of account;  (b) Article 4 (2), second subparagraph:  2 418 ECU (A) instead of  2 000 units of account;  (c) Article 5 (2):  105 million ECU instead of  105 million units of account.

Council Directive 76/631/EEC of 20 July 1976 concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (France - overseas departments)

Official Journal L 223 , 16/08/1976 P. 0007 - 0010

COUNCIL DIRECTIVE  of 20 July 1976  concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (France - overseas departments)  (76/631/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas (1), as amended by Directive 76/400/EEC (2), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (3),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (4),  Whereas the Government of the French Republic has communicated to the Commission, in accordance with Article 2 (1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, a list of areas situated in the overseas departments of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Reunion and Guyana and eligible for inclusion in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas, together with the relevant information concerning the characteristics of these areas;  Whereas the index used for defining the very difficult climatic conditions referred to in the first indent of Article 3 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC is for each commune an average altitude of more than 800 metres;  Whereas the index used for defining steep slopes as referred to in the second indent of Article 3 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC is a percentage greater than 20;  Whereas where there is a combination of the two abovementioned factors, the criteria used are a minimum altitude of 500 metres and an average slope of 15 %, or a minimum altitude of 400 metres and an average slope of 16 %;  Whereas the indices used to define the presence of infertile land referred to in Article 3 (4) (a) of Directive 75/268/EEC are a value of final agricultural production per hectare not exceeding 77 % of the average of Metropolitan France (FF 1 840 and FF 2 400 respectively), or a livestock density of 0.17 livestock units (L.U.) per forage hectare;  Whereas the index used to establish the existence, referred to in Article 3 (4) (b) of Directive 75/268/EEC, of economic results appreciably lower than the mean, is the fact that the gross farm income per family worker amounts to approximately 27 % of the national average of Metropolitan France (FF 7 700 and FF 28 400 respectively);  Whereas the index used to define a low population as referred to in Article 3 (4) (c) of Directive 75/268/EEC is the fact that the actual density is not greater than one inhabitant per square kilometre ; whereas the percentage of the total active population engaged in agriculture is at least 30 %;  Whereas the characteristics used for defining the areas affected by specific handicaps within the meaning of Article 3 (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC are, on the one hand, the unfavourable aspects of natural conditions of production - climatic phenomena of an adverse nature and of frequent occurrence such as cyclones, prolonged periods of drought and of very irregular rainfall, and often very rugged land surfaces - and, on the other hand, handicaps resulting from insularity and remoteness from the mother country ; whereas these characteristics give rise to an increase in the cost of products, especially production materials ; whereas moreover the overall extent of  (1)OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 1. (2)OJ No L 108, 26.4.1976, p. 21. (3)OJ No C 79, 5.4.1976, p. 37. (4)OJ No C 131, 12.6.1976, p. 28.   these areas does not exceed 2.5 % of the area of the Member States concerned (0.46 % of the combined area of Metropolitan France and the overseas departments);  Whereas the indices thus used by the Government of the French Republic to define the three classes of area in the overseas departments communicated to the Commission satisfy, respectively, the characteristics of the mountain areas, the less-favoured areas and the areas affected by specific handicaps referred to in Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;  Whereas the communication of the Member State concerned does not describe the present situation in the areas in question with regard to the infrastructure referred to in Article 3 (2) of Directive 75/268/EEC ; whereas it appears that the infrastructure is inadequate ; whereas moreover the absence of information about current or proposed programmes prevents an assessment of the period within which a definite improvement will occur in this situation ; whereas it nevertheless appears expedient to include the areas in question in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas, on the understanding that the Government of the French Republic will present shortly a detailed communication to the Commission on this subject,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:    Article 1 The areas situated in the overseas departments of Guadeloupe, Reunion, Martinique and Guyana which are listed in the Annex shall be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC.   Article 2 The Member State concerned shall forward to the Commission by the end of 1976 at the latest, a detailed communication indicating the period within which measures for the substantial improvement of infrastructure will be effective in the areas listed in Annex.

Council Directive 86/529/EEC of 3 November 1986 on the adoption of common technical specifications of the MAC/packet family of standards for direct satellite television broadcasting

Official Journal L 311 , 06/11/1986 P. 0028

*****COUNCIL  DIRECTIVE  of 3 November 1986  on the adoption of common technical specifications of the MAC/packet family of standards for direct satellite television broadcasting  (86/529/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),  Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),  Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),  Whereas, in the near future, satellites for direct television broadcasting will be brought into service by several European countries and subsequently new television sets corresponding to public needs will be introduced by the manufacturers;  Whereas the use of common technical specifications for direct satellite broadcasting of television programmes and possibly for their redistribution by cable is necessary in order to attain the objectives set out hereafter;  Whereas the implementation of common technical specifications simplifies the broadcasting of television programmes in all countries of the Community and makes a significant contribution to European unification and to the development of a true European identity;  Whereas the technical capability to transmit simultaneously on several sound channels opens the way to truly pan-European multilingual television programmes;  Whereas the implementation of common technical specifications leads to the creation of a large unified market, on which products will be freely exchanged without any technical barriers, which will be of great economic benefit for the European consumer electronics industry as regards its competitiveness;  Whereas it is indispensable that a guarantee be given to manufacturers and operators in respect of their investments and supplies, by the application of common technical standards at Community level;  Whereas the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the European manufacturers of the relevant branch represented by their associations have perfected and published technical specifications forming part of the MAC/packet family for the direct television breoadcasting and the redistribution of programmes by cable; whereas these specifications have been confirmed at international level by the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR);  Whereas the MAC/packet family now includes:  - for direct satellite broadcasting: the system C-MAC/packet and the system D2-MAC/packet with frequency modulation,  - for cable distribution: the system D-MAC/packet and the system D2-MAC/packet;  Whereas these systems are very largely compatible with each other on the operational level;  Whereas these systems make it possible to meet the service and economic requirements in the different national contexts;  Whereas, in view of the foreseeable technical progress in this sector, account should now be taken of any subsequent developments of the existing systems and provision made for an eventual review of this Directive,  HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:  Article 1  For direct operational satellite telvision broadcasting, and subsequent redistribution by cable, Member States shall take all measures by law or administrative action to ensure the use of only the following systems:  - in the case of direct broadcasting by satellite of television programmes, the MAC/packet systems referred to in the first indent and note 2 of recommendation AE/650 of the CCIR entitled Television standard for satellite broadcasting in the channels defined by WARC BS-77 and RARC SAT-83, approved at the 16th plenary assembly at Dubrovnik, May 1986 (i.e. the C-MAC/packet system or the D2-MAC/packet system),  - in the case of redistribution by cable of these programmes, the MAC cable system corresponding to the satellite broadcasting system should be preferred. However, television redistribution by cable may continue to use existing techniques, conversion from the MAC/packet sstem used for the satellite broadcast link being made at the receiver terminal incorporated in the cable network,  - any systems which evolve from those MAC/packet systems referred to in the first and second indent, which are subsequently defined by the European standardization bodies and/or the competent international bodies and which are operationally compatible with them.  Member States shall select the system or systems of the MAC/packet family which is or are more appropriate to the present or future structure of their direct broadcasting by satellite or cable distribution networks and shall inform the Commission of their selection.  Article 2  For the purposes of this Directive, direct broadcasting by satellite means a broadcasting satellite service as defined in the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunications Union, i.e. using channels assigned to Member States in the 11,7 to 12,5 GHz band at the World Broadcasting Satellite Administrative Radio Conference (Geneva 1977) and intended for display on 625 lines domestic TV receivers.  Article 3  This Directive shall apply until 31 December 1991 at the latest. The Commisison is invited to submit to the Council, in advance of that date, proposals for measures to be adopted for the replacement of this Directive.  Article 4  This Directive is addressed to the Member States.  Done at Brussels, 3 November 1986.  For the Council  The President  A. CLARK  (1) OJ No C 59, 14. 3. 1986, p. 3.

ANNEX I  CONCENTRATION LIMITS TO BE USED IN APPLYING THE CONVENTIONAL METHOD OF ASSESSING HEALTH HAZARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 3 (5)  An assessment must be made of all the health hazards that the use of a substance might entail. For that purpose the  dangerous health effects have been subdivided into:  1. acute lethal effects;  2. non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure;  3. severe effects after repeated or prolonged exposure;  4. corrosive effects, irritant effects;  5. sensitizing effects;  6. carcinogenic effects, mutagenic effects, toxic effects for reproduction.  The systematic assessment of all the dangerous health effects is expressed by means of concentration limits, expressed as a weight/weight percentage except for gaseous preparations (Tables A) where they are expressed as a volume/volume percentage and in  conjunction with the classification of a substance.  The classification of the substance is expressed either by a sybmol and one or more risk phrases or by categories (category 1, category 2 or category 3) also expressed by risk phrases when substances are shown to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for  reproduction. Therefore it is important to consider, in addition to the symbol, all the phrases denoting specific risks which are assigned to each substance under consideration.  1. Acute lethal effects 1.1. Other than gaseous preparations The concentration limits fixed in Table I determine the classification of the preparation in relation to the individual concentration of the substance(s) present whose classification is also shown.  TABLE I    /* Tables: see OJ */      The concentration limits expressed as a volume/volume percentage in Table 1 A below determine the classification of the gaseous preparations in relation to the individual concentration of the gas(es) present whose classification is also shown.  TABLE I A    /* Tables: see OJ */      2.1. Other than gaseous preparations For substances that produce non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure (R 39/route of exposure, R 40/route of exposure), the individual concentration limits specified in Table II determine, when appropriate, the classification of the  preparation.  TABLE II    /* Tables: see OJ */      For gases that produce non-lethal irreversible effects after a single exposure (R 39/route of exposure, R 40/route of exposure), the individual concentration limits specified in Table II A, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, determine, when  appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE II A    /* Tables: see OJ */      3.1. Other than gaseous preparations For substances that produce severe effects after repeated exposure (R 48/route of exposure), the individual concentration limits specified in Table III determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE III    /* Tables: see OJ */      For gases that produce severe effects after repeated or prolonged exposure (R 48/route of exposure), the individual concentration limits specified in Table III A below, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, determine, when appropriate, the  classification of the preparation.  TABLE III A    /* Tables: see OJ */      4.1. Other than gaseous preparations For substances that produce corrosive effects (R 34, R 35) or irritant effects (R 36, R 37, R 38, R 41), the individual concentration limits specified in Table IV determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE IV    /* Tables: see OJ */      For gases that produce such effects (R 34, R 35 or R 36, R 37, R 38, R 41), the individual concentration limits specified in Table IV A below, expressed as a volume/volume percentage determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE IV A    /* Tables: see OJ */      5.1. Other than gaseous preparations Substances that produce such effects are classified as sensitizing and assigned:  - the symbol Xn and phrase R 42 if this effect can be produced by inhalation,  - the symbol Xi and phrase R 43 if this effect can be produced through contact with the skin,  - the symbol Xn and phrase R 42/43 if this effect can be produced by inhalation and through contact with the skin.  The individual concentration limits specified in Table V determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE V    /* Tables: see OJ */      Gases that produce such effects are classified as sensitizing and assigned:  - the symbol Xn and phrase R 42 if this effect can be produced by inhalation,  - the symbol Xn and phrase R 42/43 if this effect can be produced by inhalation and through contact with the skin.  The individual concentration limits specified in Table V A below, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, determine, when appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE V A   6.1. Other than gaseous preparations For substances which produce such effects and for which specific concentration limits do not yet appear in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, concentration limits laid down in Table VI shall determine, where appropriate, the classification of the  preparation.  TABLE VI    /* Tables: see OJ */      For gases which produce such effects and for which specific concentration limits do not yet appear in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, the concentration limits laid down in Table VI A, expressed as a volume/volume percentage, shall determine, where  appropriate, the classification of the preparation.  TABLE VI A    /* Tables: see OJ */       ANNEX II  PARTICULAR PROVISIONS CONCERNING CERTAIN PREPARATIONS   CHAPTER I   Particular provisions relating to labelling   A. Special provisions for preparations classified dangerous within the meaning of Article 3  1. Preparations sold to the general public 1.1. The labels on packages containing such preparations, in addition to the specific safety advice, must bear the relevant safety advice S 1, S 2, S 45 or S 46 in accordance with the criteria fixed in Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC.  1.2. When such preparations are classified as very toxic (T +), Toxic (T) or corrosive (C) and where it is physically impossible to give such information on the package itself, packages containing such preparations must be accompanied by precise and  easily understandable instructions for use including, where appropriate, instructions for the destruction of the empty package.  2. Preparations intended for use by spraying The package label containing such preparations must compulsorily bear the safety advice S 23 accompanied by one of the safety advice S 38 or S 51 assigned to it in accordance with the criteria fixed in Annex VI to Directive 67/548/EEC.  3.

         DIRECTIVE (EU) 2016/1919 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
   of 26 October 2016
   on legal aid for suspects and accused persons in criminal proceedings and for requested persons in European arrest warrant proceedings
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular point (b) of Article 82(2) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
   After consulting the Committee of the Regions,
   Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The purpose of this Directive is to ensure the effectiveness of the right of access to a lawyer as provided for under Directive 2013/48/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) by making available the assistance of a lawyer funded by the Member States for suspects and accused persons in criminal proceedings and for requested persons who are the subject of European arrest warrant proceedings pursuant to Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA (4) (requested persons).

               (2)

               By establishing common minimum rules concerning the right to legal aid for suspects, accused persons and requested persons, this Directive aims to strengthen the trust of Member States in each other's criminal justice systems and thus to improve mutual recognition of decisions in criminal matters.

               (3)

               The third paragraph of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (the Charter), Article 6(3)(c) of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and Article 14(3)(d) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) enshrine the right to legal aid in criminal proceedings in accordance with the conditions laid down in those provisions. The Charter has the same legal value as the Treaties, and the Member States are parties to the ECHR and the ICCPR. However, experience has shown that this in itself does not always provide a sufficient degree of trust in the criminal justice systems of other Member States.

               (4)

               On 30 November 2009, the Council adopted a Resolution on a Roadmap for strengthening the procedural rights of suspected or accused persons in criminal proceedings (5) (‘the Roadmap’). Taking a step-by-step approach, the Roadmap calls for the adoption of measures regarding the right to translation and interpretation (measure A), the right to information on rights and information about the charges (measure B), the right to legal advice and legal aid (measure C), the right to communicate with relatives, employers and consular authorities (measure D), and special safeguards for suspects or accused persons who are vulnerable (measure E).

               (5)

               On 11 December 2009, the European Council welcomed the Roadmap and made it part of the Stockholm programme — ‘An open and secure Europe serving and protecting citizens’ (6) (point 2.4). The European Council underlined the non-exhaustive character of the Roadmap by inviting the Commission to examine further elements of minimum procedural rights for suspects and accused persons, and to assess whether other issues, for instance the presumption of innocence, need to be addressed, in order to promote better cooperation in that area.

               (6)

               Five measures on procedural rights in criminal proceedings have been adopted pursuant to the Roadmap to date, namely Directives 2010/64/EU (7), 2012/13/EU (8), 2013/48/EU, (EU) 2016/343 (9) and (EU) 2016/800 (10) of the European Parliament and of the Council.

               (7)

               This Directive relates to the second part of measure C of the Roadmap, regarding legal aid.

               (8)

               Legal aid should cover the costs of the defence of suspects, accused persons and requested persons. When granting legal aid, the competent authorities of the Member States should be able to require that suspects, accused persons or requested persons bear part of those costs themselves, depending on their financial resources.

               (9)

               Without prejudice to Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2016/800, this Directive should not apply where suspects or accused persons, or requested persons, have waived their right of access to a lawyer in accordance with, respectively, Article 9 or Article 10(3) of Directive 2013/48/EU, and have not revoked such waiver, or where Member States have applied the temporary derogations in accordance with Article 3(5) or (6) of Directive 2013/48/EU, for the time of such derogation.

               (10)

               Where a person who was initially not a suspect or an accused person, such as a witness, becomes a suspect or an accused person, that person should have the right not to incriminate him or herself and the right to remain silent, in accordance with Union law and the ECHR, as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the European Union (Court of Justice) and by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). This Directive therefore makes express reference to the practical situation where such a person becomes a suspect or an accused person during questioning by the police or by another law enforcement authority in the context of criminal proceedings. Where, in the course of such questioning, a person other than a suspect or an accused person becomes a suspect or an accused person, questioning should be suspended immediately. However, it should be possible to continue questioning where the person concerned has been made aware that he or she has become a suspect or an accused person and that person is able to fully exercise the rights provided for in this Directive.

               (11)

               In some Member States an authority other than a court having jurisdiction in criminal matters has competence for imposing sanctions other than deprivation of liberty in relation to relatively minor offences. That may be the case, for example, in relation to traffic offences which are committed on a large scale and which might be established following a traffic control. In such situations, it would be unreasonable to require that the competent authorities ensure all the rights under this Directive. Where the law of a Member State provides for the imposition of a sanction regarding minor offences by such an authority and there is either a right of appeal or the possibility for the case to be otherwise referred to a court having jurisdiction in criminal matters, this Directive should therefore apply only to the proceedings before that court following such an appeal or referral.

               (12)

               In some Member States certain minor offences, in particular minor traffic offences, minor offences in relation to general municipal regulations and minor public order offences, are considered to be criminal offences. In such situations, it would be unreasonable to require that the competent authorities ensure all the rights under this Directive. Where the law of a Member State provides in respect of minor offences that deprivation of liberty cannot be imposed as a sanction, this Directive should therefore apply only to the proceedings before a court having jurisdiction in criminal matters.

               (13)

               The application of this Directive to minor offences is subject to the conditions set out in this Directive. Member States should be able to apply a means test, a merits test, or both in order to determine whether legal aid is to be granted. Provided that this complies with the right to a fair trial, the merits test may be deemed not to have been met in respect of certain minor offences.

               (14)

               The scope of application of this Directive in respect of certain minor offences should not affect the obligations of Member States under the ECHR to ensure the right to a fair trial, including obtaining the assistance of a lawyer.

               (15)

               Provided that this complies with the right to a fair trial, the following situations do not constitute a deprivation of liberty within the meaning of this Directive: identifying the suspect or accused person; determining whether an investigation should be started; verifying the possession of weapons or other similar safety issues; carrying out investigative or evidence-gathering acts other than those specifically referred to in this Directive, such as body checks, physical examinations, blood, alcohol or similar tests, or the taking of photographs or fingerprints; bringing the suspect or accused person to appear before a competent authority, in accordance with national law.

               (16)

               This Directive lays down minimum rules. Member States should be able to grant legal aid in situations which are not covered by this Directive, for example when investigative or evidence-gathering acts other than those specifically referred to in this Directive are carried out.

               (17)

               In accordance with Article 6(3)(c) ECHR, suspects and accused persons who lack sufficient resources to pay for the assistance of a lawyer are to have the right to legal aid when the interests of justice so require. This minimum rule allows Member States to apply a means test, a merits test, or both. The application of those tests should not limit or derogate from the rights and procedural safeguards that are ensured under the Charter and the ECHR, as interpreted by the Court of Justice and by the ECtHR.

               (18)

               Member States should lay down practical arrangements regarding the provision of legal aid. Such arrangements could determine that legal aid is granted following a request by a suspect, an accused person or a requested person. Given in particular the needs of vulnerable persons, such a request should not, however, be a substantive condition for granting legal aid.

               (19)

               The competent authorities should grant legal aid without undue delay and at the latest before questioning of the person concerned by the police, by another law enforcement authority or by a judicial authority, or before the specific investigative or evidence-gathering acts referred to in this Directive are carried out. If the competent authorities are not able to do so, they should at least grant emergency or provisional legal aid before such questioning or before such investigative or evidence-gathering acts are carried out.

               (20)

               Given the specificity of European arrest warrant proceedings, the interpretation of the provisions of this Directive relating only to requested persons should take into account this specificity and should not in any way prejudice the interpretation of the other provisions of this Directive.

               (21)

               Requested persons should have the right to legal aid in the executing Member State. In addition, requested persons who are the subject of European arrest warrant proceedings for the purpose of conducting a criminal prosecution and who exercise their right to appoint a lawyer in the issuing Member State in accordance with Directive 2013/48/EU should have the right to legal aid in that Member State for the purpose of such proceedings in the executing Member State, in so far as legal aid is necessary to ensure effective access to justice, as laid down in Article 47 of the Charter. This would be the case where the lawyer in the executing Member State cannot fulfil his or her tasks as regards the execution of a European arrest warrant effectively and efficiently without the assistance of a lawyer in the issuing Member State. Any decision regarding the granting of legal aid in the issuing Member State should be taken by an authority that is competent for taking such decisions in that Member State, on the basis of criteria that are established by that Member State when implementing this Directive.

               (22)

               To ensure effective access to a lawyer by requested persons, Member States should ensure that requested persons have a right to legal aid until they are surrendered, or until the decision not to surrender them becomes final.

               (23)

               When implementing this Directive, Member States should ensure respect for the fundamental right to legal aid as provided for by the Charter and by the ECHR. In doing so, they should respect the United Nations Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems.

               (24)

               Without prejudice to provisions of national law concerning the mandatory presence of a lawyer, a competent authority should decide, without undue delay, whether or not to grant legal aid. The competent authority should be an independent authority that is competent to take decisions regarding the granting of legal aid, or a court, including a judge sitting alone. In urgent situations the temporary involvement of the police and the prosecution should, however, also be possible in so far as this is necessary for granting legal aid in a timely manner.

               (25)

               Where legal aid has been granted to a suspect, an accused person or a requested person, one way of ensuring its effectiveness and quality is to facilitate continuity in his or her legal representation. In that respect, Member States should facilitate continuity of legal representation throughout the criminal proceedings, as well as — where relevant — in European arrest warrant proceedings.

               (26)

               Adequate training should be provided to staff involved in the decision-making on legal aid in criminal proceedings and in European arrest warrant proceedings. Without prejudice to the judicial independence and differences in the organisation of the judiciary across the Member States, Member States should request that those responsible for the training of judges provide such training to courts and judges that take decisions regarding the granting of legal aid.

               (27)

               The principle of effectiveness of Union law requires that Member States put in place adequate and effective remedies in the event of a breach of a right conferred upon individuals by Union law. An effective remedy should be available where the right to legal aid is undermined or the provision of legal aid is delayed or refused in full or in part.

               (28)

               In order to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of this Directive, there is a need for collection of relevant data, from available data, with regard to the implementation of the rights set out in this Directive. Such data include, where possible, the number of requests for legal aid in criminal proceedings, as well as in European arrest warrant proceedings where the Member State concerned acts as an issuing or executing Member State, the number of cases where legal aid was granted, and the number of cases where a request for legal aid was refused. Data on the costs of providing legal aid to suspects or accused persons and to requested persons should also be collected in so far as possible.

               (29)

               This Directive should apply to suspects, accused persons and requested persons regardless of their legal status, citizenship or nationality. Member States should respect and guarantee the rights set out in this Directive, without any discrimination based on any ground such as race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, language, religion, political or other opinion, nationality, ethnic or social origin, property, disability or birth. This Directive upholds the fundamental rights and principles recognised by the Charter and by the ECHR, including the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, the right to liberty and security, respect for private and family life, the right to the integrity of the person, the rights of the child, the integration of persons with disabilities, the right to an effective remedy and the right to a fair trial, the presumption of innocence, and the rights of the defence. This Directive should be implemented in accordance with those rights and principles.

               (30)

               This Directive lays down minimum rules. Member States should be able to extend the rights laid down in this Directive in order to provide a higher level of protection. Such higher level of protection should not constitute an obstacle to the mutual recognition of judicial decisions that those minimum rules are designed to facilitate. The level of protection provided for by Member States should never fall below the standards provided by the Charter or by the ECHR, as interpreted by the Court of Justice and by the ECtHR.

               (31)

               Since the objective of this Directive, namely setting common minimum rules concerning the right to legal aid for suspects, accused persons and requested persons, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

               (32)

               In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the TEU and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and without prejudice to Article 4 of that Protocol, those Member States are not taking part in the adoption of this Directive and are not bound by it or subject to its application.

               (33)

               In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22 on the position of Denmark, annexed to the TEU and to the TFEU, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Directive, and is not bound by it or subject to its application,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

               deprived of liberty;

               (b)

               required to be assisted by a lawyer in accordance with Union or national law; or

               (c)

               required or permitted to attend an investigative or evidence-gathering act, including as a minimum the following:

   4.   Without prejudice to the right to a fair trial, in respect of minor offences:

               (a)

               where the law of a Member State provides for the imposition of a sanction by an authority other than a court having jurisdiction in criminal matters, and the imposition of such a sanction may be appealed or referred to such a court; or

               (b)

               where deprivation of liberty cannot be imposed as a sanction;

         this Directive applies only to the proceedings before a court having jurisdiction in criminal matters.
   In any event, this Directive applies when a decision on detention is taken, and during detention, at any stage of the proceedings until the conclusion of the proceedings.
   Article 3
   Definition
   For the purposes of this Directive, ‘legal aid’ means funding by a Member State of the assistance of a lawyer, enabling the exercise of the right of access to a lawyer.
   Article 4
   Legal aid in criminal proceedings
   1.   Member States shall ensure that suspects and accused persons who lack sufficient resources to pay for the assistance of a lawyer have the right to legal aid when the interests of justice so require.
   2.   Member States may apply a means test, a merits test, or both to determine whether legal aid is to be granted in accordance with paragraph 1.
   3.   Where a Member State applies a means test, it shall take into account all relevant and objective factors, such as the income, capital and family situation of the person concerned, as well as the costs of the assistance of a lawyer and the standard of living in that Member State, in order to determine whether, in accordance with the applicable criteria in that Member State, a suspect or an accused person lacks sufficient resources to pay for the assistance of a lawyer.
   4.   Where a Member State applies a merits test, it shall take into account the seriousness of the criminal offence, the complexity of the case and the severity of the sanction at stake, in order to determine whether the interests of justice require legal aid to be granted. In any event, the merits test shall be deemed to have been met in the following situations:

               (a)

               where a suspect or an accused person is brought before a competent court or judge in order to decide on detention at any stage of the proceedings within the scope of this Directive; and

               (b)

               during detention.

         5.   Member States shall ensure that legal aid is granted without undue delay, and at the latest before questioning by the police, by another law enforcement authority or by a judicial authority, or before the investigative or evidence-gathering acts referred to in point (c) of Article 2(1) are carried out.
   6.   Legal aid shall be granted only for the purposes of the criminal proceedings in which the person concerned is suspected or accused of having committed a criminal offence.

   2.   The issuing Member State shall ensure that requested persons who are the subject of European arrest warrant proceedings for the purpose of conducting a criminal prosecution and who exercise their right to appoint a lawyer in the issuing Member State to assist the lawyer in the executing Member State in accordance with Article 10(4) and (5) of Directive 2013/48/EU have the right to legal aid in the issuing Member State for the purpose of such proceedings in the executing Member State, in so far as legal aid is necessary to ensure effective access to justice.
   3.   The right to legal aid referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may be subject to a means test in accordance with Article 4(3), which shall apply mutatis mutandis.
   Article 6
   Decisions regarding the granting of legal aid
   1.   Decisions on whether or not to grant legal aid and on the assignment of lawyers shall be made, without undue delay, by a competent authority. Member States shall take appropriate measures to ensure that the competent authority takes its decisions diligently, respecting the rights of the defence.
   2.   Member States shall take necessary measures to ensure that suspects, accused persons and requested persons are informed in writing if their request for legal aid is refused in full or in part.

         2.   Member States shall ensure that adequate training is provided to staff involved in the decision-making on legal aid in criminal proceedings and in European arrest warrant proceedings.
   3.   With due respect for the independence of the legal profession and for the role of those responsible for the training of lawyers, Member States shall take appropriate measures to promote the provision of adequate training to lawyers providing legal aid services.
   4.   Member States shall take the necessary measures to ensure that suspects, accused persons and requested persons have the right, upon their request, to have the lawyer providing legal aid services assigned to them replaced, where the specific circumstances so justify.
   Article 8
   Remedies
   Member States shall ensure that suspects, accused persons and requested persons have an effective remedy under national law in the event of a breach of their rights under this Directive.
