43As is apparent from a reading of Article 3 in conjunction with Article 6 of Directive 2012/13, the right mentioned in Article 1 of the directive concerns at least two separate rights. First, in accordance with Article 3 of that directive, suspects or accused persons must be informed, at least, of certain procedural rights, which are listed in that provision, including the right of access to a lawyer, any entitlement to free legal advice and the conditions for obtaining such advice, the right to be informed of the accusation, the right to interpretation and translation and the right to remain silent. Secondly, that directive establishes, in Article 6, rules concerning the right to information about the accusation (judgment of 15 October 2015, Covaci, C‑216/14, EU:C:2015:686, paragraphs 54 to 56).
