lpv:translated text	"Madam President, this debate is taking place because we have a dual mandate. To start with, according to the Treaty of Lisbon, a mandate under the Treaty on European Union is not a suggestion – far from it. It indicates a mandate to conclude the accession of the EU to the European Convention on Human Rights. We also have a negotiating mandate that binds the Commission, to ensure that the execution of that mandate becomes reality. The reasons are very good. The European Convention on Human Rights, as interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights, which guarantees it, has contributed fundamentally to a Europe-wide judicial culture that has improved the lives of millions of Europeans who have seen their demands met before the European Court of Human Rights when they had exhausted the judicial resorts available to them under their own legal systems to guarantee their fundamental rights. We are aware that this presents difficulties. We have been negotiating for some time now. The time has come for us to carry out this mandate and bring about its fulfilment. The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg should enter into discussion and this will undoubtedly be a complex issue. What is clear, however, is that this enhances the legal protection of European citizens’ rights and it is time, therefore, for the Commission to make every effort to resolve with the Council the obstacles that some Member States continue to put in the way so that European citizens finally see this mandate that is in the Treaty of Lisbon fulfilled. There is not a single country that has not seen an improvement in the attention to human rights that are guaranteed by the Convention as a consequence of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and, insofar as there is an injustice that it has been possible to put right through the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, it follows that the mandate makes perfect sense and it is time to bring it to fulfilment."@en1
