"The EU is of the opinion that the use of terms which acknowledge the existence of different races needs to be avoided. It is not our intention here to deny the diversity of the human race, but we do want to emphasise its unity, and, as such, fight the present forms of racism which are often based on these kinds of claims. But due to strong opposition from certain States, we have been unable to make much progress in this field. The European Union insisted on explaining its fundamental viewpoint on this matter in a last speech, which will also be included in the Conference’s report.
As far as the strategies are concerned, the States are urged to draft a policy and action plan to fight racism, and to implement the Durban action programme. They are also urged to continue to cooperate in a statutory international framework, especially with the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights which is responsible for the follow-up of the implementation of the texts that were adopted in Durban."@en1
