lpv:translated text	". Everyone is entitled to protection against administrative arbitrariness and against exploitation by privileged parties. In a society that is based on universal equality, as well as the right to individual diversity, individual and social constitutional rights that are legally enforceable are indispensable. The EU’s Charter of fundamental rights that was produced in 2000 does not go as far as some provisions enshrined in Member State constitutions, the European Social Charter and the Council of Europe's European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which applies to an area greater than the EU alone. This is why it is wrong to equate a proper arrangement of constitutional rights with a document that is no more than the outcome of a discussion of a convention that mapped out the common denominator of various wishes without taking a vote. A weightier status for the Charter can lead to two quite conflicting results, namely more scope for propaganda on the part of the EU and, at the same time, fewer guarantees for rights of EU residents. This is why the suggestion to start accession negotiations to sign up to the ECHR is, in my opinion, the most positive part of this report. In fact, why do we not adopt the ECHR instead of the Charter straight away?"@en1
