". I feel that Mr Duff’s Report is right to focus on the importance of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and its future status, for it must be included in the Constitutional Treaty which the next IGC is to draw up at the end of 2003. It must be one of the bases for the conversion of the pillar structure of the Union to a Community structure. As Chairman of the Committee on Petitions, I have noted the increase in the citizens’ requests for protection of their rights, which shows that their relationship with the European institutions, particularly Parliament, is constantly improving. I support the establishment of the ‘European Ombudsman’ to safeguard the financial interests of the Union, of the European arrest warrant and of the mutual recognition of judgments and the work of Europol – institutions which require greater coordination and organisation and a more specific horizontal and vertical division of competences. After the elements of Community law relating to criminal law, I believe it is important to address the civil law elements too and, in particular, the relationship between the citizens and the legal systems of the Member States, some of which need to be reorganised, including the administrative and civil justice systems of my country. Without altering the distribution of competences between the Union and the Member States, the Union needs to play a positive role allowing the citizens to benefit fully from the ‘right to justice’. Moreover, the Union must reflect on the issue of the relationship between the citizens and the Court of First Instance with a view to making European justice tangible for the citizens."@en1
