lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, for years I have campaigned with others for comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation to outlaw discrimination in access to goods and services for disabled people and older people. I know that employment is covered on all grounds already, but for years we have been promised action and then nothing has happened. Today we can say that we are on the brink of achieving that legislation, not just covering age and disability but sexual orientation and religion, as I called for in my report. I would like to thank the Commission for bringing this forward and Commissioner Špidla in particular for his tenacity. We know that the proposed legislation is not perfect and we will want to see changes. It would also have been better if it had been subject to codecision. But, having said that, I am delighted to be able to stand here and say that we are at long last on our way to seeing all EU citizens treated as equals."@en1
