EU-COE-ECHR ACCESSION: European Commission: "Partially accessible version": Recommendation for a Council decision to negotiate accession to the European Convention on Human Rights (pdf). Tony Bunyan, Statewatch Director, comments:

"It is quite ludicrous that the EU's negotiating position on finally joining the ECHR should be censored. This is a Treaty commitment to improve human rights for everyone in the EU. We need to know exactly what is being proposed on our behalf."
