lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I welcome Mr Duff's report. It important that we incorporate the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the existing European Union treaties, but I also hope that the European Convention on Human Rights will be incorporated into the EU as an institution and not simply into the legal systems of the individual Member States. It is unthinkable to have a modern European Union constitution – which is what the Convention on the future of Europe is looking at – without a binding bill of rights. If the Convention drafts such a constitution without the Charter it will, in my view, be a disgrace. Far from giving more rights to the European Union institutions, the Charter limits the exercise of power by the EU institutions because they must explicitly respect human rights. The Charter should be legally binding and enforceable under EU law. It is not, as the rapporteur says, a substitute for the fundamental rights systems of the Member States but a complement to them."@en1
