"I welcome the proposal to establish an EU Special Representative (EUSR) for Human Rights to strengthen the effectiveness and visibility of EU policies in this sector. The European Union is founded on respect for, and promotion of, fundamental rights. These universal and indivisible rights should know no frontiers or restrictions of any kind. They underpin the founding treaties and were more vigorously articulated in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of 2000, which, with the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, has become legally binding. Efforts in this sector are needed on two fronts: within and outside the EU. The Special Representative for Human Rights should have a broad and flexible mandate and, in a time of austerity such as this, should be able to use existing services. Lastly, I hope that the EUSR will be able to work closely with non-governmental organisations, which fulfil a primary role in this field, and with Parliament, which has always championed human rights."@en1
