lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the Union’s accession to the ECHR was the quid pro quo for the decision to make the Charter of Fundamental Rights binding. It now falls on all 27 Member States to bring that agreement to a successful conclusion – not least Britain, which used to be the pioneer and the advocate of fundamental rights but unfortunately now seems to be suffering from acute withdrawal symptoms. The British are specifically demanding unanimity for Council decisions concerning the ECHR post-accession. This distorts the logic of the Treaty of Lisbon and weakens the role of the Commission in representing the Union inside the Committee of Ministers. Could I remind the Presidency of the Council that this Parliament must also grant its consent to the final agreement? I can assure you from the ALDE Group that if we are not entirely satisfied that the internal rules follow the logic of Lisbon, it is extremely improbable that we will be inclined to grant our consent."@en1
