I wish to focus on a few issues which require attention, including the charter of fundamental rights. It has been a matter of great delight in recent months to observe the fundamental change in the Government's attitude in that regard, to the extent that it is now prepared to support the idea of the charter being part of the treaty. That is crucially important to those in the trade union movement and civil society who look to a social Europe. However, what I do not quite understand – perhaps Mr. De Rossa will comment on this – is, if we embed something in a European constitution, how that trickles down to being important to an individual Irish citizen. Is there, perhaps, a need for national or subsidiary legislation or can one simply claim one's rights on the basis that the charter will now be part of the treaty? If it was to be part of the treaty, would it have similar effect as personal rights in the Irish Constitution? I would appreciate some clarification, although I realise there are no absolute answers to such questions at this stage.
