"Mr President, the introduction of the Charter of Fundamental Rights into the European Constitution is a step forward in the Union’s political dimension towards a more democratic and more social Europe. This commitment to human rights must be given concrete form from now on and it must be obligatory for the fundamental rights dimension to be incorporated into any new legislative proposals. As Socialist coordinator in this Parliament’s Sub
Committee on Human Rights, I am in favour of the creation of the Fundamental Rights Agency. I understand the concerns expressed by certain Members, but I entirely disagree with their opinion; this is one of the most important agencies. By means of the powers proposed in the report, the Agency will ensure that we act consistently in terms of promoting and protecting human rights. We therefore support the decision that this initiative should be treated as a legislative initiative by the European Parliament.
I believe that it is very important for the House to demonstrate its support and to be heard where initiative on fundamental rights are concerned. This democratic platform that we are going to create will benefit everybody: Member States, international bodies, civil society and third countries. The request for transversality of fundamental and human rights must also, and especially, be taken into account in the Union’s foreign policy. Finally, this decision can only lead to greater and better promotion and protection of human rights, inside and outside the European Union."@en1
