The enforcement of the Charter of Nice not only offered the more visible image of the basic human rights provided in the European Union Member States, but also established the more solid juridical basis for the protection of human rights, expanded over other fields of activity, e.g. the guarantee of communication security etc. At the same time, the provisions of the Treaty of Nice resulted not only in the modification of the Treaty as regards the European Economic Community, in order to establish the European Community, but also in reaching a new phase in the process of European Integration, engaged through the creation of the European Communities stipulated in the European Union Treaty.
