".
I contribute to this debate as someone who was partly responsible, as Parliament’s representative on the Council of Ministers’ Consultative Commission on Racism and Xenophobia from 1994 to 1999, for the establishment of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia.
I have no serious quarrel with Mr Guidoni’s report on this Monitoring Centre, but I wish to enter reservations about firstly the underfunding of this Centre compared to the raft of other centres with what I consider less importance to the people of Europe such as Translation or Training. Secondly the commitment without additional funding to widen its remit to human rights, making its already difficult task virtually impossible.
I do not believe these events are unconnected with the politics of this institution. Some are fellow travellers with racists and xenophobes, while others take the issue far too lightly. I do not see how they can with the rising racism in football, whether in Italy, Spain or elsewhere, the electoral successes of the far right in France and Belgium, Italy and Denmark, plus the threatened breakthrough in 4 May local elections in Britain by our own version of Le Pen’s
the British National Party."@en1
