lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I can continue where Mr Gahrton left off. I think there is a problem in maintaining that social rights must be indivisible and universal and then, at one and the same time in the section headed ‘Solidarity’, referring to national legislation and practice. In this way, it is precisely what is universal and indivisible in these areas that is weakened. It is that part of the content I have problems with. However, I also have problems with the structure we are in the process of setting up. If we really want to reinforce human rights at European level, we ought instead to employ our energy on strengthening the work of the Council of Europe and on having the EU ratify the European Convention on Human Rights and the corresponding conventions on cultural and social rights, instead of slowly developing a system to compete with the Council of Europe, as we are now in the process of doing. Indeed, the Council of Europe represents the whole of Europe, or all European States. We have only fifteen of them – as yet. Finally, there is the problem of wanting to establish a constitution without democratic backing. That will not get the voting numbers up at the next elections to the European Parliament."@en1
