"Mr President, like other speakers, I agree with the Commissioner that the EU must have one of the most advanced legislative frameworks to combat discrimination. Therefore, I appreciate that Parliament’s amendments to the Commission proposal enforce the demand that the European Year of Equal Opportunities for All should speed up the transposition process of the two anti-discrimination directives, for which I thank the rapporteur, Mrs Roure. I have to say, with regret, that my country, Latvia, is among those states that are delaying transposition. New Member States have to be subject to infringement proceedings for violations of Community law in the same way as the old Member States. In that context, NGOs have a vital role to play in raising awareness. The Commission should ensure that especially NGOs representing the groups that suffer discrimination are involved at all stages of the work in connection with the European Year. I hope that the Commissioner will also agree with this."@en1
