lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Mrs Gál’s report enables us to establish the European Parliament’s priorities regarding the extension of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia’s remit to convert it into a Fundamental Rights Agency. We hope that the creation of this agency will make it possible to establish a real policy on fundamental rights. It is worth repeating that our top priority for the creation of an area of freedom, security and justice is the active promotion of fundamental rights. I would like to remind you that the inclusion of human dignity in Article 1 of the Charter on Fundamental Rights was a real change of direction. We, and governments, must take an approach that takes account of the honour of each and every person, the basis for the dignity of every citizen. People will be free if they have a place and rights in our society that we have organised to this end. And we all know that the rights to speak and write freely, to elect one’s representatives and to live as one wishes have no real meaning for people who, in their daily lives, do not have the necessary material means to ensure their dignity. We all know that, without the necessary dignity, there is a risk that universal rights will benefit only some. Commissioner Frattini has made a commitment to present the report on the creation of the Fundamental Rights Agency under the codecision procedure. We have listened to what you have just said, Commissioner, but we would restate that we absolutely insist on this procedure. MEPs are the elected representatives of the citizens of Europe. As the creation of a Fundamental Rights Agency would have a direct effect on the daily lives of citizens, the opinion of the European Parliament must be clearly heard."@en1
