"Madam President, democracy in Europe is based on providing effective protection for fundamental rights and ensuring that they are promoted. Doing so plays an important role in consolidating a European area of freedom, security and justice. The need to ensure that fundamental rights are protected stems from the shared constitutional traditions in the Member States, the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as other legislation in the field of international law. I am of the opinion that all European policy objectives should aim to uphold the fundamental rights which are enshrined in provisions of the Lisbon Treaty. I would also like to underline that we cannot restrict our political activities in the field of fundamental rights to cases that attract most public attention. In order to maintain the European Union’s credibility in the world, it is important to avoid double standards in our foreign and home policies."@en1
