"I abstained from voting in the final vote. I believe it is absolutely crucial that the EU’s Charter of Fundamental Rights should involve subscribing to the Council of Europe's Convention on Human Rights. The word ‘constitution’ is intellectually and politically misleading. Instead, the proper concept should instead be the ‘recapitulation and simplification of the EU Treaties’. The Swedish Christian Democrats do not believe that the Convention has proved to be a democratic or effective method of working when it comes to producing a Charter of Fundamental Rights. That is true in terms of the understanding shown both of the national parliaments and their constitutional committees and of the European Parliament’s Committee on Constitutional Affairs. In practice, the Convention’s presidency has produced its own summary of the views which the various participants are taken to have arrived at. In the event of the Convention method being used in future, its task should be limited to that of acting as a focus group."@en1
