".
I will be brief. As Mr MacCormick said – and I welcome him back to Strasbourg after our two meetings in Edinburgh – we all agree.
Mrs Wallis raised the issue of the signing up to the European Convention on Human Rights. That is a very good point. Some have proposed that instead of having this Charter of Fundamental Rights, which is now in existence and which will probably be part of the new Constitution – although some disagree about that – we should merely have signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights. There is a risk in the present situation that there is a sort of competition between the two instruments. That debate has taken place, but the decision – as Mrs Wallis knows – was finally taken to have a Charter of Fundamental Rights. The question now is whether it would be useful to sign up to the European Convention on Human Rights, in addition to having that charter. I am wary of duplicating instruments, so I wonder whether Mrs Wallis' suggestion is a good one. However, it is certainly worth considering."@en1
