lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Union has good laws, established anti-discriminatory standards, and directives are in preparation. I would like to congratulate my colleague on the report that she has presented today. In turn, Member States introduce that which is decided here. States have anti-discrimination clauses in their constitutions and they have entire sections of law that are supposed to protect the citizen from discrimination. Why then is the current situation so bad? Why is it that there are still so many examples of discrimination, which we are unable to deal with? It seems to me that the problem lies on two levels. Firstly, information, and, secondly, implementation of obligations. I would like to focus on information. Information is not just the responsibility of governments. As it turns out, governments do not provide much information to ordinary people about the nature of discrimination. It seems to me that this role should be taken over to a greater degree by non-governmental organisations, which are well placed to deal with specific areas of society, specific groups of citizens, and to provide them with information about what immigration means. Just ask immigrants, older women, single mothers, whether they feel they are discriminated against. They say: ‘No, it’s just our destiny. It’s just bad luck’. They need help to find themselves; they need help with procedures and appropriate authorities. I would also like the European Parliament to get involved in preparing a code of practice that would be given to different organisations. I would like to say one last thing. I hope that the European Commission project involving the yellow lorry travelling round Europe with an anti-discrimination exhibition and the European Year of Equal Opportunities do not represent the full extent of what we can do. Let us do more to help those who are subject to discrimination."@en1
