lpv:translated text	"At the Meeting of the Heads of State and Government last week, a Treaty was agreed that should adapt the European institutions to a new situation and improve the existing Treaties. Since the present structure of the European Union is vastly different from what it was in 1957, we have to adopt a new European document; we need clear new rules. I fully support this process. In order to be trustworthy, the European Union must guarantee human rights and fundamental liberties to its citizens. These values are mentioned several times in the preamble and in the articles of the Treaty, and the Union is founded precisely on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy and equality. I regret very much that although in Article 3 of the new Treaty we profess to act strictly in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Charter protecting human rights, in the same breath we refuse to include the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in the Treaty. I am generalising on purpose because I do not wish to point the finger at individual Member States that refuse to express their opinion on this important issue. The Charter of Fundamental Rights is absent from the Treaty and I regret this. Does the Charter not endorse human rights, enshrined in constitutional traditions and common to all Member States? I believe that the Members of this Parliament currently play a very important role in the process of reforming the Treaty; they defend the opinions of the people of Europe and they should act as a catalyst for consensus in areas such as human rights. Congratulations to you, Mr Socrates and Mr Barroso."@en1
