". Fundamental rights are at the heart of our political commitment: we therefore were unable to vote for this report. Last year, Parliament adopted a method comprising the adoption of the Charter, the establishment of means, including the network of experts, and a joint effort by three rapporteurs, in order to achieve a consensus. This method has not been followed and this report, furthermore, reflects the opinion of the rapporteur rather than an in-depth analysis: the whole Charter and nothing but the Charter, and therefore an article-by-article, State-by-State analysis. This was an opportunity for Parliament to gain control over the Member States. Nothing but the Charter, in other words, the articles as they are and not as one might like them to be. This report will not affect the Charter at all, since only a new Convention has the power to change its articles. I regret that the recommendations made in the report go beyond the Charter, and can only lament the fact that the search for a consensus has perversely been replaced by the provocative and exaggerated nature of certain proposals. Moreover, it is completely pointless to overstate the situation. This report could have been awaited by the press and feared by the Member States. Having failed to achieve a unanimous vote, however, it will be buried alongside other pointless reports."@en1
