Paragraph 7
7. Welcomes the setting-up of the Agency, which represents a first step towards meeting Parliament’s calls for the establishment of an integrated regulatory and institutional framework designed to put the Charter into effect and guarantee consistency with the system established by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms; points out, however, that the annual reports on human rights drawn up by the European Network of Independent Experts in Fundamental Rights, published until 2005, scrutiniszed the application of all the rights recogniszed by the Charter in each Member State, and is concerned, therefore, at the fact that the Agency’s limited remit and the dissolution of the Network may exclude from systematic scrutiny a series of important areas of human rights policy in Europe, in particular anti-terrorist policies, mistreatment and the use of force by the police, the right to a fair hearing, violence against women and trafficking in human beings;
