lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr Bødskov, Commissioner Kallas, this week the future of the European Court of Human Rights is being debated and decided upon in Brighton. Undoubtedly, some of the planned reforms will strengthen the European human rights apparatus. Thus, it would be very welcome if those states that do not implement the judgments made in Strasbourg were more consistently punished in future. However, the progress outlined in the draft Brighton Declarations cannot conceal the fact that the United Kingdom is attempting to use its Presidency of the Council of Europe to substantially weaken the influence of the Court. If – as planned – national courts will be given greater discretionary powers in connection with the interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights, this runs the risk of undermining case law. Within Europe, different human rights standards could prevail. In addition, the planned reforms are clearly seeking to give citizens fewer opportunities to take cases to the European judges individually. The Member States are therefore called on to take a firm stance against this attempt at weakening the position of the Court, which will also result in a weakening of the whole human rights apparatus. Moreover, the European Union has committed itself in the Treaty of Lisbon to accede to the European Convention on Human Rights. Mr Bødskov mentioned that Parliament called for this actually to be implemented two years ago. It is therefore high time that we set about doing this in a very decisive way."@en1
