"Mr President, the main thrust and content of the speech by President Barroso opening this session were defined by ‘more Europe’. In this Union, it seems unthinkable that there could be any cherry-picking or ranking with regard to compliance with and enforcement of the fundamental principles according to some sort of hierarchical scale. At the same time, it is also unthinkable that the legal practices and legal systems of the Member States could create or review legislation that is contrary to the fundamental rights of the Union. However, ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, this is what the National Council of the Slovak Republic did on 20 September 2007, through Decision 1483/2007. This decision reinforced the Beneš Decrees, and rendered them inviolable and irreversible.
In the light of this, however, it is particularly interesting to regard it as a Second World War document, since it was adopted not in 1945 but in 2007. Arguments that make reference to historical documents are unfounded and amateurish, since historical documents belong in archives and history books, not in the valid legal system in force. I do not know whether my colleagues understand that 13 of the Decrees demand implementation on the basis of racial segregation and discrimination, just like the Nuremberg Laws. Slovakia should therefore remove these rules from the statute books."@en1
