By now the readers of Jyllands Posten (JP) are used to read letters of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which he explains the work in EU, both the work that is going on and the work that is ahead. The formulation has been careully chosen, because the readers were meant to have an impression that the results as well as of the planned ones, are very positive and of benefit and joy to us all.
The letter in JP Juli 29^th("A Progress To The EU-citizens") is no exception.. But this time the laudatory statement is nearly too good to be true. It certainly is.

Affairs follows in his letter the standard EU-practice that means to turn things upside down. He postulates that the purpose of charter is to set limits to what the competence of the EU-institutions and to create more security to the right of among other things the freedom of expression of the citizens. That is told by the same minister who is coresponsible for the imposition of the section of racism in Danish legislation that means section 77 of free expression has been partly annuled.
What is happening is of fundamental significance to out future. In reality it is the first link in the creation of a common constitution of EU, as Joschka Fischer expressed it a few months ago.
EU has learnt to disguise its most ambigious projects like something much different from what they are. Instead of calling the beginnings of

a constitution by its right name, it is called the a "Charter Of Fun damental Rights And Freedoms". And who may be against funda mental rights?
It must be clear that what is going on, has nothing to do with fundamental rights. The members of EU are already covered by the European convention of human rights, the declaration of universal human rights of UN and smaller agreements ali ke in droves.
As soon as the proposal has been passed it is no longer a declaration of fundamental rights, but a part of a constitution after which the judges of the EU-countries are empowered or bound to ignore existing national laws as they might consider to be against it principles. Every passing of sentence or trials must have to build on these principles. Thereafter it will just be a pure matter of form to

incorporate the decisions in the planned revision of the Danish constitution.

Boring statements
The Minister of Foreign Affaires expresses himself in such a way that the man in street finds his statements boring, uninteresting and without any importance. You may be tempted to suspect that this is due to stratetic considerations. When the reader finds it boring and technically, the attention is blunted and you grasp the letter as just one more repetition of the question: "For or against human rights?". And when you place in that way the answer only can be what the politicians want.
