lpv:translated text	"I want to draw a parallel between the reports by Mrs Ludford and Mr Haarder and the report by Messrs Duff and Voggenhuber. The European Parliament is proposing to take part in drafting a European Charter of Fundamental Rights. And why not? Nonetheless, we cannot see how this additional document can contribute to the fight for human rights, except by injecting a little more legal confusion. And, above all, what are we to think of our House’s concept of these rights? We can get an initial sketchy idea from reading the Ludford and Haarder reports: this is a project for a libertarian society, based on rights without obligations, on freedom without responsibilities. Freedom is not something that can be decreed. But those who are building Europe seem unaware of that fact: they not only want to bring happiness to the people regardless of their differences and their aspirations, but, on top of that, they want to establish a society without points of reference, without distinction between what can and cannot be done, a society that believes in hedonism or the culture of death. Man cannot be regarded as an entity independent of those around him and concerned solely with his immediate well-being. Certainly he has rights, including, first and foremost the, right which, paradoxically, he is often refused, the right to life, which must be defended and promoted; but you appear to have forgotten that the human being needs the objective limits necessary to all life in society to be established. The human being not only needs to be given the means to live, but also, and above all, he needs the reasons to live. An additional charter, European or not, will certainly not provide them."@en1
