lpv:translated text	". − The June List accepts the Commission’s proposals and the European Parliament’s amendments, provided the EU institutions respect the principle that education policy is a national matter. However, in Amendment 7 the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament proposes that a reference should also be included to the ‘Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union’. There is no such thing. The EU Member States have not adopted any such charter. There was a reference to such a document in the draft Constitutional Treaty, which was rejected through the democratic process in the summer of 2005. On the other hand, all the EU Member States have signed the Council of Europe European Convention on Human Rights. This means that all EU citizens can assert their fundamental freedoms and rights in the European Court of Human Rights. The EU charter represents the opposite of the ‘leaner but keener’ EU which is often mentioned in solemn speeches about subsidiarity. The EU should concentrate on cross-border matters, but stay away from matters on which the individual Member States can take their own decisions or which are already regulated in other international treaties. It follows that the proposal for an EU Charter of Fundamental Rights should be rejected, of course along with the ‘new’ Treaty for the EU."@en1
