Regretting that the motion was rejected, I would like to finish presenting the arguments interrupted when the motion was presented in plenary.
Some say that the subject of the report is covered by Article 7 of the Treaty. In that case, however, we should have acted accordingly, which we have not done. Others say that the report has its basis in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Even if, however, this were already in force, note should be taken of Article 51 – retained, moreover, in the draft Constitution – according to which the Charter is applicable to the European institutions and the Member States only in the case of national actions implementing Community law. In fact, that is not the case here.
Finally, this report is not there to settle an Italian issue. It is clear to everyone that this is an Italian dispute, but we must specifically refrain from interfering in national conflicts, whether they break out in Italy or in any other Member State.
This resolution tries dangerously to usurp powers that do not belong to us. It is detrimental to us all. It represents an injustice and a threat. We must, moreover, be very aware that an injustice caused to one Member State – in this case, Italy and other Member States mentioned – is always a threat hanging over the heads of us all. It is a threat to democracy. It is a threat to the rule of law."@en1
