Adopted in October 2012, the EU Directive establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2001/220/JHA must be transposed by EU Member States (incl. Ireland) by 16 November 2015. The Directive sets out a series of rights for victims of crime and places obligations on States.
