lpv:translated text	"Madam President, following this debate I wish to express my concern over the delays that are being suffered in connection with the EU’s accession to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and to encourage the Council and the Commission to bring this about quickly and efficiently. It is important because, firstly, we are talking about basic EU values and a legal obligation that appears, as already mentioned, in the Treaty on European Union. The economic crisis is putting the European social model at risk. All we need is to show signs of weakness in the sphere of human rights as well, a sphere which is a symbol of European identity. Moreover, we are in the process of and on the point of reducing levels of protection for rights that seemed clear and that are now threatened by the process of reforming the European Court of Human Rights. Limiting citizens’ access to the European Court is bad news. For it to happen as a result of the penny-pinching attitude of some States strikes me as serious and troubling and for it to be done in a secretive way seems like a mockery at a time when we are celebrating the implementation of the European citizens’ initiative. Therefore, I ask the Council and the Commission: what are the real reasons why France and the UK are blocking this Agreement?"@en1
