Lisbon Treaty (No. 3)

Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate and Debates on treaty on Lisbon Treaty (No. 3).
The right hon. Gentleman has asserted several times that nothing in the charter of fundamental rights creates new rights, and that the rights there already exist. However, in its website commentary on the treaty of Lisbon, the European Commission says that"““the Treaty of Lisbon preserves existing rights while introducing new ones.””" Is he saying that the Commission is wrong?
