"Mr President, the proposal for an EU fundamental rights agency is the height of folly, even by the standards of this place. It also anticipates ratification of the Constitution, which is unlawful. Leaving aside the monumental waste of public money, it will ensure that human rights become a permanent source of conflict across Member States as the bureaucrats seek to keep themselves busy.
The Charter of Fundamental Rights was included in the new Constitution as one of the most misconceived documents of recent years. A passing parade of political non
entities have given themselves the power to grant rights and freedoms to other people. Far worse, they have given themselves the power to remove those rights and freedoms when it suits them or their successors. These are not the actions of democrats.
My rights and freedoms, Mr President, are not in your gift and they are not at your discretion, they are my birthright. This Charter and this proposal profoundly misunderstand the nature of human rights and they reflect this House’s obsession with social engineering."@en1
