On these four issues, then, which are simplification of the Treaties, the legal status of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the debate on powers and the place of national parliaments in the European architecture, let us be careful not to undermine the Community acquis or weaken the Community method by tackling them in an inappropriate manner.
S'agissant cependant de ces quatre thèmes - simplification des traités, portée juridique de la Charte, articulation des compétences, place des parlements nationaux dans l'architecture européenne - veillons à ne pas, selon la manière de les aborder, fragiliser l'acquis communautaire ou affaiblir la méthode communautaire.
