"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, at today’s sitting, not a pleasant sitting, I should first of all like to salute all employees in Member States of the Union who have been affected by injustice at work because they belong to minorities, whether ethnic or other. We know of examples where employees have been unjustly thrown out of work. But they have not been lucky enough to have their cases taken up by a plenary session of the European Parliament. We should be grateful that the European Commission language teachers have brought their case to us. It gives us the chance to consider how to prevent wrongs within the European institutions. We are not just talking about some company or other which fires some employees in order to increase its profits. We are talking about the guardian of the treaties, charged with monitoring the proper application of the . The problem with the language teachers is just one sad example of administrative mistakes in the European Commission. Let us not forget that other problems persist. Remember the case of Mrs Andersen and Mr van Buitenen, the Eurostat, OLAF and Blue Dragon affairs. If we, as Members of the European Parliament, are charged with overseeing the European Commission, then we must act in these matters. First of all, I call upon the parliamentary Committee on Employment and Social Affairs to give priority attention to this matter at the highest level, to look at all cases similar to this one and to take the necessary steps. We must ensure that employment law is applied and that public servants and employees of the institutions are protected. Secondly, it would be desirable to invite all public servants, whatever their rank, to contact Members of the European Parliament they have elected and give them clear information about administrative shortcomings within the European institutions."@en1
