lpv:translated text	"At the time when Slovakia submitted its application to the European Union it was already a member of the Council of Europe and had therefore already signed and ratified the Charter of Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms. The standard required by the Council of Europe was both equal and binding for all states. If there was uncertainty or a failure to comply, a request for verification could be made to the so-called monitoring committee. The European Parliament deals with this issue only selectively, when some MEPs choose to raise the issue. Unfortunately, however, the situation has not been monitored simultaneously in several states. In addition, it seems to me that a certain minority in the European Union or rather in Europe, enjoys greater and privileged rights. In Vojvodina there is a large Slovak minority which for more than 200 years has retained traditions that many of us in Slovakia have now forgotten. Mr President, I have learned that the Hungarian minority in Vojvodina, which is smaller than the Slovak minority, is to receive a special statute enabling it to enjoy the rights of a Member State. I am asking, therefore, for the European Union to ensure equality not only of obligations but also of rights in order that members of the Slovak minority living in the Vojvodina may enjoy the same rights as their fellow citizens of Hungarian nationality."@en1
