Information about the consultation
The consultation we will be discussing was launched on 8 March 2022 to gather the views of the public on possible policy options within the context of the impact assessment for the revision of the Victims’ Rights Directive. In particular, the consultation is aimed at identifying possible ways in which the existing rights of victims, including those already specified in the Directive, could be further strengthened. It comes in the sequence of the 2021 public consultation on the evaluation of the Directive. The revision of the Victims’ Rights Directive is part of the EU Strategy on Victims’ Rights (2020 – 2025).
We strongly encourage members to submit their views to the public consultation and share it with their network, until the deadline of 31st of May. We look forward to the discussion.
