lpv:translated text	". My decision not to vote for the Duff/Voggenhuber report is not intended to be seen as a criticism of the nature of the fundamental rights which are recognised by the Member States, enshrined in the Treaty on European Union, frequently applied in judgements of the Court of Justice in Luxembourg and which have long had a place in the Convention on Human Rights, upon which the new Charter appears to be based. These rights are the backbone of the Constitutions of all the countries of the Union, guaranteeing protection of European citizens from attack or abuse in any of the Member States, and they are applied to the different situations in individual States through the interpretation of the case law of the European Court of Justice. I would not be against the drafting of a Charter, the sole function of which was to be a political statement with a high moral content intended by the Union to reaffirm the significance and unchanging, eternal nature of fundamental rights, if this should ever prove necessary. In this sense, the new Charter could be the basis for a philosophy which some or all of the Member States could incorporate into their own legal systems. However, I feel that the drafting of a Union Charter of Rights which is binding upon the institutions and also, indirectly, upon the relations of Member States with their citizens, could confuse the relationship between the Member States and the Union, let subsidiarity in by the back door and give rise to an overlap between the national and European levels at which fundamental rights and the protection they guarantee operate, generating dangerous confusion and opening the way for multiple interpretations of a single principle. In short, this situation would be in absurd contrast with the basic principle behind a Union Charter of Rights, which is to increase protection for European citizens and guarantee their safety."@en1
