lpv:translated text	"The delay in the European Union’s accession to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is really worrying and surprising, particularly when we consider that all countries, including those two Member States that are opposed to the EU’s accession to this Convention, approved and signed the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007 which provides for the accession of the European Union to this Convention. A particularly worrying aspect of this issue is the fact that these Member States, which oppose or are seeking to delay the EU’s accession to the ECHR, are also seeking a reform of the European Court of Human Rights, which would restrict citizens’ opportunities to approach the Court directly and would undermine this Court’s competence and powers. The European Parliament is already receiving letters from concerned citizens, for whom, even in our more democratic European countries of the 21st century, the opportunity to approach the ECHR directly and the fact that this Court’s judgements are binding on Member States, often represent the last chance for them to redress injustice done to them. Clearly we must welcome reforms that would speed up actions before the ECHR."@en1
