lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to congratulate Mrs Gál on the important work she has carried out, because the creation of this agency for the protection and promotion of fundamental rights is a valuable body both to this Institution and to the European Union. An independent body is required, which also has strong links with the European Parliament. It is also important that, on this issue, codecision processes can be arrived at between Council and Parliament. Another important aspect, moreover, is monitoring the situation with regard to fundamental rights violations in third countries. All too often we are helpless bystanders and all too often our cooperation links pave the way for fundamental rights violations to take place in third countries. I believe that the difference between this agency and the European Court of Human Rights should be highlighted. The European Court intervenes in individual cases, whereas the remit of this agency will be to monitor a political system in its entirety, and to also monitor the legal instruments that may not comply with universally recognised standards in the area of human rights. I believe that we are dealing with an extremely important matter, because all too often we, as Members of the European Parliament, report instances of human rights violations without having the means to prevent them from recurring. Today, for instance, a boat sank off the coast of Lampedusa. If it had been the first time, we could have considered it to be an isolated incident. In contrast, such incidents occur all too often and it is necessary, therefore, to carefully assess the legislation in force."@en1
