lpv:translated text	"We welcome the work which has now begun on preparing an EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. A Charter of this kind will have a very important symbolic value and will strengthen the confidence of our citizens in the EU and in European integration. The Charter of Fundamental Rights should be seen as complementing the European Convention on Human Rights, which we believe should be incorporated into the Treaty. The Charter should concentrate on the relationship between citizens and the European institutions. Its primary objective should be to guarantee that the Union is governed openly. The Charter should be legally binding through its also being incorporated into the EU’s Treaty. The Charter must not only be a declaration, but also entail obligations of some kind on the part of the EU’s institutions and Member States. We would emphasise the subsidiarity principle and the fact that the Charter should concentrate on the fundamental freedoms and rights of citizens, as presented in accordance with the Member States’ common constitutional traditions. We would emphasise the importance of the social dimension in the EU’s activities but consider that social policy is mainly a question for each individual Member State to decide upon."@en1
