Paragraph 3 is intended to ensure the necessary consistency between the Charter and the ECHR by establishing the rule that, insofar as the rights in the present Charter also correspond to rights guaranteed by the ECHR, the meaning and scope of those rights, including authorised limitations, are the same as those laid down by the ECHR.
Namen tretjega odstavka je zagotoviti potrebno usklajenost med Listino in EKČP z vzpostavitvijo pravila, da sta vsebina in obseg navedenih pravic, vključno z dovoljenimi omejitvami, enaka kot vsebina in pomen pravic, ki ju določa EKČP, kolikor pravice v tej listini ustrezajo tudi pravicam, zagotovljenim z EKČP.
