"Mr President, in Europe, we have an internal market which is a great success. One of the main reasons for that is that the Commission is very tough in enforcing the market rules. I wish, however, that the Commission were equally tough when it comes to enforcing fundamental rights in Europe.
That is why, Commissioner, my group insisted so much on having a special European Commissioner for Fundamental Rights. That is you. And we expect you to stand up, not for European governments, but for European citizens, and if you do not like what you see, then you should not close your eyes to what is happening in Europe, you should act.
We do not want words in this Chamber, not from Mr Barroso, not from you. We could do without this debate if we were sure that the European Commission would enforce the rules – not only rules on immigration and free movement, but fundamental rights as well – because that is the only way that we can make the European Union a community of values that is as successful as the internal market."@en1
