"Mr President, the European Court of Justice will judge whether the laws applied to the Czech Republic are in accordance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The fear is that this will make it possible to bypass the Czech courts and assert, for example, that property claims by persons displaced after the Second World War be judged directly at the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The Charter even allows for perfectly valid rulings of the Czech courts to be re-examined.
The Czech Republic seeks a similar exception to that of the UK and Poland. This aims to give the Czech Republic a guarantee that the Lisbon Treaty cannot lead to the breach of the so-called Beneš Decrees. We all remember how, at the time of Lisbon, we were assured by the Europhile political class that the Charter would not apply to the UK. We in UKIP said that the ECJ would swiftly get round that assertion and rule that the Charter does apply to the UK, and so it proved. That being so, the terms of Protocol 30 ought to be recast in order to give effect to the clear wishes of the UK, Poland and the Czech Republic not to be bound by the Charter in any way."@en1
