"Mr President, I voted for the proposal for the race directive. I did so very willingly and, particularly in my capacity as representative of the Pensioners’ Party, I am glad to have been able to use my vote to contribute to the adoption of this directive. Today’s pensioners and elderly people lived through the Second World War: they know what racism means. They hoped that the issue would never have to be raised again, let alone regulated by laws banning racist acts. I hope that this law will soon be out of date, for that will mean that antiracist behaviour has ceased. I hope that this and every other law against discrimination will become obsolete. Since, sadly, this is not the case at present, Europe is acting wisely in publicly making its position so clear."@en1
