"Question No 6 by Carmen Cerdeira Morterero ():
There has recently been an escalation in the number of attacks on gay and lesbian communities throughout Europe. They have included the attacks on two gay establishments, one in Gijón and one in London, in which several lives were lost. These crimes are particularly serious in a region such as the European Union, where the protection of human rights is a basic issue, especially at the present time when we are drafting a European Charter of Fundamental Rights
Under new Article 13 introduced by the Treaty of Amsterdam the Council is entitled to take appropriate action to combat discrimination based, amongst other things, on sexual orientation. For this reason, homophobic attacks of this kind on freedom of sexual orientation call for a clear and tough response from the Council.
What action does the Council intend to take to prevent and avoid attacks of this kind within the territory of the European Union?"@en1
