"Mr President, I would like to begin by adding my own voice to the words of profound gratitude for the Portuguese Presidency. Considerable success has been achieved. The European Union needed a way out of the sense of defeat and failure, it needed a political dimension, and thanks to the Portuguese Presidency, it has one.
I also consider it to be of exceptional importance that the Charter of Fundamental Rights is an element of those decisions, and I would like to add here that the Charter of Fundamental Rights is the compass, the instrumentarium, of Europe. I cannot even imagine how a country that wishes to be part of the European Union could at the same time dissociate itself from that which constitutes its moral, philosophical and political foundation.
Critical words were spoken by my colleague Mr Duff regarding the position of the British Government, which demanded an opt-out. I am in a better position. The Polish Government, which asked for an opt-out as the result of a decision taken by the Polish people, is leaving power. I would like to express the profound hope that following the political change-over that has taken place in my country, and out of loyalty to the Polish tradition of solidarity, Poland will observe the Charter of Fundamental Rights in full. Poland will accede to the Charter of Fundamental Rights in full, without any opt-out."@en1
