lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would, first of all, like to thank the Portuguese Presidency for their work, also because I have just heard Mr Vedrine, the future President-in-Office, say that he considers that the Charter of Fundamental Rights should not be binding and should not be included in the Treaties. In my opinion, this is a very difficult subject, and one over which we will lament the passing of the Portuguese Presidency, for, at least on this point, it maintained a position which, if not crystal clear, was at least less negative. The Feira Council will be a major Council if it is ambitious enough. The Presidency has just announced that closer cooperation will be discussed at the Intergovernmental Conference. However, there are many different ways of defining closer cooperation and, in our opinion, certain criteria must be respected. The first is total observance of the ; the second is the abolition of the right of veto for every Member State; the third is full respect of the roles of Parliament, the Commission and the Court of Justice in the decision-making procedures with regard to the initial introduction and implementation of closer cooperation. The Charter of Fundamental Rights should have been included in the subjects for debate, Minister. Let us hope that external pressure which will, I hope, increase, will be sufficient to bring it to your attention. This Charter will only be a success if it has binding legal status – its content must, of course, be sound, but it must also have legal status – or it will serve absolutely no purpose – and if it includes other new rights such as the right to a safe environment and a number of fundamental social rights such as the right to belong to a trade union and the right to strike. Thank you again, Portuguese Presidency. We urge you to be present, active and vigilant in the matters which are important to you: some of them are very important to us too."@en1
