lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to begin by expressing my hope that the heads of government in Nice will turn the Charter of Fundamental Rights, that is to say the package as a whole, into one which offers direct protection to citizens as individuals. Our declaration of rights is the first of this millennium. It is the most modern in the world, and it has been drawn up in the world’s largest continuous legal area. It offers an important message to our citizens and to surrounding countries about the constitutional principles upon which our countries are founded. For the first time, citizens’ representatives have actively participated in shaping the details of the European Union’s development. A democratic and effective model has replaced an old-fashioned, sluggish and one-sided model. Our European identity and community of values will be strengthened. However, the Charter will also have liberalising effects on the European economy. Individuals will have more opportunities to start up businesses and to stand on their own two feet. Increased support will be given to private ownership and to ownership under intellectual property law. This individual protection is an important basis for enlargement of the Union – the EU’s priority for the next few years. Citizens of the candidate countries will also be able to share in the EU’s freedoms and rights. European citizenship is taking shape here and now. In particular, it will give citizens of small countries the benefits enjoyed by the citizens of a large country."@en1
