<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/dossier.asp?id=185>More rights for Europeans!
Human rights are a priority for the EU when it comes to foreign affairs,
but what about within its borders? Here's a look at how European citizens'
rights, both old and new, are respected in the 21st century.


Miranda Hearn - London

<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=1341>Immigrants face abuse
in EU
<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=1341>Despite the signature
of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in 2000, the conduct of several
member states as regards immigrants, both legal or otherwise, is less than
satisfactory.


Julia Mills - Paris

<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=1333>Press for freedom
<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=1333>The EU may be in the
middle of an institutional crisis but at least there is one thing Europe
can be proud of: it tops the tables in journalists' rights. But what about
Romania, which is due to join the EU in 2007?


Elvira Corona - Cagliari

<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=4287>New human rights
agency in the pipeline
<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=4287>Europe is always ready
to preach good practice. But violations of every kind are a regular
occurrence even on its own territory. This is why Brussels is preparing to
launch a brand new agency in 2007.


Eleonora Palermo - Paris

<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=4293>European consumers unite
<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=4293>Today, with the single
market and free trade, an organisation that can guarantee consumer rights
is essential. The EU's job is to coordinate this on an international scale.


Lorenzo Morselli - Bruxelles

<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=4286>"Europe neglects
problems on its own soil"
<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=4286>Within the European
Union, respect for prisoners' human rights does not have a very good
record. Maurizio Turco, ex MEP, knows this better than most and talks to
café babel about his observations.
