lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the proposed Charter of Fundamental Rights does not mean that citizens’ rights are to be reinforced. It adds nothing over and above what is at present implied in the EU’s, the Member States’ and the Council of Europe’s policy in this area. This is also clear from Article 50 of the Treaty. Seen from a Left perspective, there is a lot missing from the text of the Charter. The Charter can therefore only be seen as an attempt to transfer responsibility for citizens’ rights from the institutions in which they at present reside to the European Union. It is a development which we reject. It is aimed only at driving the EU towards a federal constitution. We believe there are better alternatives, namely for the EU to sign and, in that way, be subject to the Council of Europe’s convention in this area. This would also reinforce pan-European cooperation in this sphere instead of weakening it, as there is a danger of the EU Charter doing."@en1
