‘Rights of victims of violence now guaranteed outside their own country’.

Victims of violence, especially those who have suffered domestic abuse or stalking, will be guaranteed better protection in any state which is a member of the European Union now, due to new rules which entered into force on 11 January.

New rules which mean that restraining, protection and barring orders issued in one member state are now quickly and easily recognisable across the European Union (EU) through simple certification.
