".
The defence of the rights and the protection of people who are victims of discrimination must be a priority for the EU, but this can only be effective and useful if it guarantees legal certainty for the persons involved whilst avoiding a disproportionate burden for the economic players targeted.
In this sensitive area, it was essential to remain vigilant as regards respect for the division of competences between the European Union and the Member States and to ensure that Parliament adheres strictly to what the legal basis allows.
The text as adopted today, whilst satisfactory in certain respects – especially in relation to the fight against discrimination against disabled people – the vague concepts it contains, the legal uncertainties that it maintains and the superfluous requirements that it introduces make it legally impractical and therefore ineffective in its application.
Believing as I do that excessive regulation cannot be a solution, I defended the amendment to reject the Commission’s proposal, as existing texts on this issue have not been applied in a number of Member States that are subject to infringement procedures.
In these circumstances, since I support the objective of this directive but am partially dissatisfied, I preferred to abstain from the final vote."@en1
