"Madam President, when it comes to the accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights, I believe it is very important that we are aware of the fact that we will come up against a number of problems, where we will increasingly be transferring a number of powers, a number of freedoms in fact, from Member States to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
We are increasingly facing the problem where once cases have been fully decided and they have already undergone a full judicial process in a Member State, they then reach the European Court of Human Rights after an appeal. This means that the European Court of Human Rights actually amounts to a kind of government of judges
consisting of a number of judges who are accountable to no one, and who are radically opposed to any policy democratically outlined in Member States and who make it impossible for Member States to impose a more restrictive immigration policy. Even the fight against terrorism is increasingly being compromised by the outlook taken by these judges. I refer in this regard to the case of Abu Qatada in the United Kingdom. This has to stop and the European Parliament needs to keep a close eye on this."@en1
