"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Article 6 should be implemented and it should be implemented soon, because it is a legal obligation that is required of us. The committee that I am honoured to chair has worked quickly and I would like to thank Mr Guerrero Salom and my fellow Members who worked on this. A contact group has also been set up between the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly and Parliament and I think this link should be reprised once again. We now call upon Mr Bødskov and Mr Kallas to pick up the pace and come to conclusions. I will not hide the problems, which are not structural – since you might say that we have already resolved those – but certainly substantial and procedural. They, however, can only be resolved in practice, once the Union has acceded to the Convention. In terms of the substance, there is one particular issue. As far as I know, this is the only case in the world in which a declaration, a legally binding act on human rights, applies to a territory where there is another legal act – the Convention of the Council of Europe – which contains the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. This certainly poses a few problems, especially in procedural terms: who will have the last word? That is the major problem, but we cannot resolve it now. Meanwhile, let us get on with accession. The solution will emerge from case law, probably using the principle that the European Court of Human Rights applies, whereby all other remedies must already have been attempted before recourse may be made to the Court. In this sense, the European Court of Human Rights could be the court of last instance, even after the Court of Justice of the European Union."@en1
