lpv:translated text	"The defence of fundamental human rights forms the basis of our Union's principles and values. The Treaty of Lisbon provides for the EU’s accession to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). Therefore, the question that faces us today is less technical than political. The reservations expressed by certain Member States, especially as regards the Court in Strasbourg, call into question the very principle of the separation of powers. How can we expect Europe’s citizens to defend their fundamental rights if we impose the principle of subsidiarity and restrictive accessibility criteria on the European Court of Human Rights and considerations of ‘margins of appreciation’ on these judgments? For me a strong Court, accessible to the citizens, defending their rights with the utmost neutrality, is essential if democracy is to work properly in Europe. I therefore call on the Commission and the Member States to show a strong political will to continue to ensure the integrity and the authority of the Court at Strasbourg and finally to make the Union’s process of accession to the ECHR accessible to civil society’s stakeholders."@en1
