"I would like to start by stressing the need for a regular report of this kind and the importance thereof so that we can constantly improve the situation of the fundamental rights of the European citizens. It is essential that we develop strategies promoting equal access for all to fundamental rights such as education, healthcare and culture and to a permanent job and housing. Europe is more than just a geographical and historical entity with expanding borders. It is, first and foremost, a community of people bound by shared values which has been shaped over the course of time by its political, economic and spiritual history. I do not feel that the report reflects or upholds certain values of our European civilisation. I believe that imposing a particular set of moral values on the entire European Union is contrary to the principle of respect for diversity, which is, moreover, enshrined at the very heart of European integration and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Local cultures and different ways of living must not be destabilised. Each of our countries has its own history and perspective, which are, of course, different, having been shaped by countless different experiences. We owe it to ourselves to respect them, for our cultural and religious diversity enriches us."@en1
