"The importance of the rule of law to a democratic society and for the legitimacy of any government cannot be disputed. Although the EU is undoubtedly one of the places in the world where objectivity, transparency and applicability of the law is at the highest level, this case draws attention to a number of failings that cannot be overlooked. In order to resolve the issues of applying the legislation of the European Union in an improved and more targeted way, the Commission launched the EU pilot project. However, this was not fully satisfactory and it would therefore be more suitable to set up an alternative type of mediation where citizens could complain to those who initiate the cases. There have often been cases where implementation of EU law has resulted in misunderstandings, for example, many petitions refer to the Charter of Fundamental Rights even where the charter does not apply to the legal acts of the Member State in question.
Citizens feel they have been misinformed as far as the real scope of the charter is concerned. I therefore believe it necessary that the Commission together with the Member States do everything in their power to explain the scope of the powers and applicability of the Charter of Fundamental Rights."@en1
