"Madam President, I would very much regret it if my report were to be taken off the agenda and if the vote were not to take place this week. We have an agreement with all political groups in this Parliament that we would accelerate proceedings for this directive. This is necessary to put through this directive swiftly and within the time in which the Portuguese Presidency, which has shown exceptional commitment in this respect, is in office.
The Council will be convening before our next plenary sitting. This means that if we do not adopt a resolution here, the Council will be unable to adopt its position either, and everything will be shelved long term. I would like to point out that the group which has the most problems and seizes upon administrative issues as an excuse to postpone dealing with these, is also the group which voted against this report in the Committee on Citizens’ Freedoms and Rights, Justice and Home Affairs. I therefore do not rule out other motives which might be at play here.
This has a bearing on the speed at which anti-discrimination can be translated into legislation in Europe and at which people can therefore be protected from racial or ethnic discrimination, and I do not appreciate the fact that Parliament is arguing in favour of postponing this protection."@en1
