lpv:translated text	"I regard the EU’s accession to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) as a welcome step because the EU needs to have a clearly defined system for protecting fundamental rights. I applaud that it will make a major contribution to strengthening the system of human rights throughout Europe, by providing citizens with increased protection, including in relation to EU legislation. This is not a new subject for debate. However, the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon provide the legal instruments required to implement this project. The European Union is founded on respect for human rights and already has a ‘Charter of Fundamental Rights’. However, a specialised judicial mechanism is also required to ensure that they are promoted and protected fully. The Court of Justice of the European Union does not have specific powers regarding this matter, whereas the court in Strasbourg has lengthy and varied practical experience in this area. While there has been informal consultation until now between both courts, which has ensured consistent practice, this accession will require technical harmonisation, both with regard to the status of the two courts and to the details of cooperation on jurisdiction. This will also entail significant benefits for Member States, providing legal clarity and avoiding potential conflicts of jurisdiction or discrepancies between the provisions of the ECHR and EU legislation."@en1
