". Mr President, Commissioner, first I should like to congratulate the rapporteur, Mrs Gál, on her exceptional work. I consider that the report is complete and that its contents create preconditions for the protection of citizens' personal data and fundamental rights in general. The incorporation of the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the Constitutional Treaty and the future accession of the European Union to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms will certainly create a legal obligation for the Union to promote the protection of human rights in all policy sectors. International cooperation by the European Union in this sensitive sector must be strengthened. At this point, I should like to comment on paragraphs 24 and 25 of the report and on paragraph 3 of the opinion of the Committee on Culture and Education, where it says that collaboration between the Council of Europe and the Agency should assume an institutional form. Consequently, in order for the collaboration in question to be effective, the states should apply the harmonisation for which provision is made in the resolutions of the Council of Europe. Creating a culture of respect for fundamental rights should be the Agency's priority and should be implemented, among other things, by developing a communication strategy. The structure of the Agency should, in my opinion, also support special departments to deal with mass media communication issues, such as, for example, the concentration of the media, transparency and freedom of the press and expression. I consider that a 'yes' vote for this report will be a fundamental step and tool within the framework of freedoms and human rights. Finally, the objective of the Agency is to develop a communication strategy which will help to create a culture of respect for fundamental rights and I think, despite any opinions voiced to the contrary, that this is a very important issue, as is its proposed structure. That is why I believe that a more attentive reading of the specific point of the creation of the Agency would be constructive. The rapporteur insists on and analyses this in her report."@en1
