EP - Text adopted by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading

Details

The European Parliament adopted by 574 votes to 82, with 24 abstentions, a resolution on the draft protocol on the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union to the Czech Republic (Article 48(3) of the Treaty on European Union).

Parliament recalls that the Heads of State or Government, meeting within the European Council on 29 to 30 October 2009, agreed that they would, at the time of the conclusion of the next accession treaty and in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements, attach to the Treaties a Protocol concerning the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic.

The draft Protocol seeks to join the Czech Republic to the Protocol on the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union to Poland and the United Kingdom.

On 5 September 2011, the Czech Government submitted to the Council a proposal, in accordance with Article 48(2) TEU, for the amendment of the Treaties to add a Protocol concerning the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic. On 11 October 2011, the Council submitted to the European Council a proposal for the amendment of the Treaties concerning the addition of a Protocol on the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic.

In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 48(3) TEU, the European Council has consulted Parliament as to whether the proposed amendments should be examined.

Parliament, in a spirit of sincere cooperation, is duty bound to give its opinion to the European Council on all Treaty changes that are proposed, irrespective of their significance, but it is in no way bound to agree with the European Council.

The resolution notes that the Czech Senate, in its Resolution 330 of 6 October 2011, opposed the application to the Czech Republic of Protocol No 30 on the ground that it would lower standards of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms afforded to Czech citizens. In addition, it expressed doubts as to the willingness of the Czech Parliament to complete the ratification of the new protocol aimed at extending the application of Protocol No 30 to the Czech Republic. In the event that the European Council decides to examine the proposed amendment, other Member States might wish not to start their ratification procedures until the Czech Republic has completed its own.

In conclusion, Parliament invites the European Council not to examine the proposed amendment of the Treaties .

Parliament recalls that the Heads of State or Government, meeting within the European Council on 29 to 30 October 2009, agreed that they would, at the time of the conclusion of the next accession treaty and in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements, attach to the Treaties a Protocol concerning the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic. The draft Protocol seeks to join the Czech Republic to the Protocol on the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union to Poland and the United Kingdom. On 5 September 2011, the Czech Government submitted to the Council a proposal, in accordance with Article 48(2) TEU, for the amendment of the Treaties to add a Protocol concerning the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic. On 11 October 2011, the Council submitted to the European Council a proposal for the amendment of the Treaties concerning the addition of a Protocol on the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic. In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 48(3) TEU, the European Council has consulted Parliament as to whether the proposed amendments should be examined. Parliament, in a spirit of sincere cooperation, is duty bound to give its opinion to the European Council on all Treaty changes that are proposed, irrespective of their significance, but it is in no way bound to agree with the European Council. The resolution notes that the Czech Senate, in its Resolution 330 of 6 October 2011, opposed the application to the Czech Republic of Protocol No 30 on the ground that it would lower standards of protection of fundamental rights and freedoms afforded to Czech citizens. In addition, it expressed doubts as to the willingness of the Czech Parliament to complete the ratification of the new protocol aimed at extending the application of Protocol No 30 to the Czech Republic. In the event that the European Council decides to examine the proposed amendment, other Member States might wish not to start their ratification procedures until the Czech Republic has completed its own. In conclusion, Parliament invites the European Council not to examine the proposed amendment of the Treaties . type: Text adopted by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading body: EP

On 11 October 2011, the Council submitted to the European Council a proposal for the amendment of the Treaties concerning the addition of a Protocol on the application of the Charter to the Czech Republic. In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 48(3) TEU, the European Council has consulted Parliament as to whether the proposed amendments should be examined. The committee recalls that Parliament, in a spirit of sincere cooperation, is duty bound to give its opinion to the European Council on all Treaty changes that are proposed, irrespective of their significance, but it is in no way bound to agree with the European Council. It acknowledges its consultation by the European Council on the examination of the proposed amendment of the Treaties. date: 2013-05-20T00:00:00 type: Debate in Parliament body: EP docs: url: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?secondRef=TOC&language=EN&reference=20130520&type=CRE title: Debate in Parliament date: 2013-05-22T00:00:00 type: Results of vote in Parliament body: EP docs: url: https://oeil.secure.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/sda.do?id=22938&l=en title: Results of vote in Parliament date: 2013-05-22T00:00:00 type: Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading body: EP
