lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this report, which each year gives us an opportunity to examine the fundamental rights situation in the European Union, provides an excellent reminder for those who would prefer to forget the universal nature of fundamental rights. It is sometimes a very bitter pill to swallow, but it can teach us some very salutary lessons. I would particularly like to single out the strengthening of European citizenship, which undeniably involves the right to vote in local and European elections. This right is denied to legal residents in several Member States on the grounds that they are not national citizens or are non-EU citizens. At a time when we are drawing up a constitutional model which ensures that exclusion and discrimination have no place in the enlarged Europe, we must put an end to this situation, failing which our European project and the values that we advocate will lose all credibility. The time we have available is very short, but this House must take up this major challenge over the coming months."@en1
