This is classic misrepresentation of European law by a Eurosceptic.
Why not link to the actual source? http://curia.europa.eu/juris/celex.jsf?celex=62010CJ0411&lang1=en&type=TXT&ancre= http://curia.europa.eu/juris/celex.jsf?celex=62010CJ0411&lan... Perhaps because the judgement clearly says sensible things like:
> In addition, according to the sixth recital in the preamble to that protocol, the Charter reaffirms the rights, freedoms and principles recognised in the Union and makes those rights more visible, but does not create new rights or principles.
Additionally, let's consider the alleged opt out, Protocol (No 30), itself. Its Preamble literally says:
> the aforementioned Article 6 [TEU] requires the Charter to be applied and interpreted by the courts of Poland and of the United Kingdom strictly in accordance with the explanations referred to in that Article
In summary, the UK and Poland signed a legal document. They then, for political reasons, signed a meaningless political statement saying ‘we don't really like this’. Of course the political statement carries no legal weight compared to the legal document.
