lpv:translated text	"The debate on the implementation of human and fundamental rights in the European Union should continue. The EU must, above all, ensure that it shows consistency in its human rights policy and must categorically insist that these rights are respected both within the EU and in its relations with third countries. For the sake of setting an example, it is important that the EU signs up to the European Convention on Human Rights as quickly as possible. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which acquired legal force two years ago, is an instrument that should be used more frequently and more effectively. A report on its implementation out this week says that the Charter is referred to by the courts more frequently than was the case earlier, which is a good thing. At the same time, though, the report states that it is still unclear to citizens as to when it is to be applied. In order to safeguard the fundamental rights of EU citizens, the directive on equal treatment must be adopted as soon as possible. The fact that there is no ban on discrimination outside the workplace means that it is precisely the most vulnerable groups, such as older people, who do not enjoy the protection of the law."@en1
