"The Swedish and Danish Social Democrats have today voted against the request to the European Council to arrange for the Charter of Fundamental Rights to be incorporated into the Treaty at its summit in Nice in December. We have made it known in previous votes that we do not want this to happen, mainly because we do not want to see more topics on the agenda at the Nice Summit than is compatible with preparing the Union for enlargement.
We are pleased to note that the Convention has succeeded in producing a draft Charter. Basic human rights are one of the foundations of the EU. It is therefore absolutely crucial that there should be a dialogue with the people of Europe about these basic issues. We believe that, as a political document, the Charter is a good point of departure for this wholly necessary dialogue, which is now about to begin. We do not, however, believe that the latter can be concluded in Nice in less than three months, for which reason alone we cannot vote in favour of incorporating the Charter into the Treaty at the Nice Summit."@en1
