"Mr President, I hope that the understanding that was reached in Berlin concerning the most important problems currently inherent in the Reform Treaty will culminate in a positive outcome during the forthcoming summit in Lisbon.
I also hope that the Polish government – bearing in mind that 80% of the Polish people supports our membership of the European Union – will see its way to final acceptance of the draft treaty, and will thus demonstrate that it understands the slogan of ‘a strong Poland in a strong Europe’.
One of the most important achievements of this understanding will making the Charter of Fundamental Rights legally binding, and I am pleased that the President of the European Parliament, the President of the Commission and the Presidency are planning a ceremony of joint promulgation of the Charter during the plenary session of the European Parliament. This is evidence of how important this document is, dealing as it does with such problems as dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity, citizens’ rights and the administration of justice.
Consequently I do not understand and do not support the stance of the Polish government, which wants an exemption from the duty under the provisions of Chapter IV of the Charter, entitled
where Polish citizens are concerned. This Chapter contains provisions that are particularly dear to the Polish and European left, relating to employee and union rights. Any wise government should care about providing the citizens of its country with greater and more effective protection of employees’ rights, especially in a country like Poland, whose freedom was brought about by the workers’ uprising of the Polish Solidarność. I therefore call on the Polish government to change its stance on this matter."@en1
