Notices: The EP after having recalled that, with the Treaty of Lisbon, the Charter will become binding, on the same footing as the Treaties, and entirely applicable to all measures taken under the AFSJ, and that compliance with the Charter will be monitored by the Court of Justice, deplored, however, the introduction of the protocol limiting the effect of the Charter on the domestic law of two Member States (United Kingdom and Poland) and reiterated its concerns about the inequality among people this may produce.
