lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, the Gál report deserves our support. Since the Treaty of Amsterdam, the European Union has legislated in sectors which touch more directly and indirectly on human rights. The protection of personal data, the right to asylum, equal and transparent access to justice, the fight against every form of discrimination or the protection of minorities are central components of the promotion of human dignity in a Europe of the citizens and not simply of trade or of unilateral emphasis on security at any cost. Now that it intervenes legislatively in these – and in all – sectors, the effect of future decisions by the Union on the fundamental rights of its citizens needs to be evaluated if the legislator is to be able to do his job properly. However, paradoxically, no harmonising mechanisms or procedures have yet been provided for the European Union institutions, so that this evaluation can be carried out adequately. Consequently, if we want to do our job properly, we need to acquire an agency, internal assistance if you like, which will support us in our job, such as the future Fundamental Rights Agency. This organisation should not be a study centre; it should be an independent and particularly sensitive antenna which collects information and which evaluates and jointly assists with authority and independence the development and protection of fundamental rights, especially in the Member States. Finally, it goes without saying that the credentials and structure of this agency must be predefined by the legislator, with the European Parliament therefore as co legislator. This is the reason why the Commission's future proposal also needs to adhere to the codecision procedure."@en1
