lpv:translated text	"The fight against discrimination is an issue which has been on the agenda of the French Assembly since 1979. Two inquiries on racism have already been established and the French Parliament was the instigator in 1986 of a joint interinstitutional declaration. However, such initiatives are no longer enough. We must go further and legislate. The Buitenweg report is timely as racism and anti-Semitism are still of concern in Europe.

Also, although the issue of religion has been excluded from this directive for legal reasons, it is vital to reiterate that we are definitely not ignoring the forms of discrimination based on religious beliefs. Parliament has still to examine another Commission text in this respect. To conclude, the Buitenweg report is inspired by a proactive and progressive approach which I have supported. The risk of a resurgence of the neo-fascist and racist hydra requires close vigilance from us, more so now than ever before. We must lead the way in this fight."@en1
