Disons-le, la convention qui a préparé la Charte des droits fondamentaux a été un échec parce qu'elle a, sans cesse, mélangé les compétences, confondu les responsabilités et que, finalement, elle a produit un texte, peut-être agréable aux oreilles des supranationaux, mais inacceptable par l'ensemble des membres de l'Union.
Let us be honest, the convention which framed the Charter of Fundamental Rights was a failure because it continually muddled areas of jurisdiction and confused areas of responsibility, and came up in the end with a text which, although it might have been music to the ears of those advocating the European superstate, was not acceptable to the members of the Union as a whole.
