Mais elle se distingue fortement de toutes les autres associations par les particularités suivantes:
Laïque, elle compte des membres de toutes opinions philosophiques et religieuses, mais ne fait référence en tant que telle a aucune religion. Association généraliste, elle entend lutter contre l’ensemble des atteintes aux droits de l’individu, dans tous les domaines de la vie civique, politique et sociale. Pour cela, elle ne se contente pas de dénoncer les injustices : elle veut promouvoir la citoyenneté politique et sociale de tous et garantir l’exercice entier de la démocratie.

Strasbourg, 01.03.2007 – Council of Europe Secretary General Terry Davis is in Vienna today to inaugurate the European Union’s Fundamental Rights Agency.

Inauguration: The mandate of the agency, which is clearly limited to the EU’s distinct legal order, respects the preeminent role of the Council of Europe and its European Court of Human Rights in defending human rights in Europe. The regulations of the Agency recognise the work done by the Council of Europe, and there are detailed provisions which are intended to promote synergy and ensure complementarity.

The Council of Europe has been invited to participate in the administration of the new agency. Negotiations on a cooperation agreement between the two organisations have already begun and should be completed before the summer.

Ursula Plassnik, Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Austria, José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, Hans-Gert Pöttering, President of the European Parliament, and Brigitte Zypries, Federal Minister of Justice of Germany, will be among those taking part in the ceremony at the Palais Niederösterreich.
